4 of 7
The University Health Service can bill many non-HMO insurance companies for services provided at UHSM.
(There are some exceptions, and we do not bill Med-QUEST, listed below.) Although you do not need to
have insurance to use the on-campus health services, you will be asked to provide insurance coverage
information when you visit. To expedite the clinic registration process, please return the completed
Insurance Information Form and a front and back copy of your medical insurance card to:
University Health Services Mānoa

At the Health Service, charges for uninsured students are reasonable; however, costs for off-campus care,
emergencies, and hospitalization can be extremely high. We highly recommend that you obtain insurance
to cover these situations.
HOW TO OBTAIN HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE
1) Students who have coverage through their parents’ employee health plans:
Under the Affordable Care Act (www.healthcare.gov), young adults will be allowed to stay on their parents' plan
until they turn 26 years old (some exceptions may apply). Contact your insurance provider for specifics.
2) Students who wish to purchase their own health insurance coverage:
University of Hawai‘i endorsed student health insurance plans are available for regular registered students. The
current plans are provided by Hawaii Medical Services Association (HMSA). The coverage terms and premiums are
very favorable. Please see our website for details. Application forms are available at the University Health Services
or can be downloaded from the HMSA website at www.hmsa.com/portal/student.
3) Students who may qualify for the State of Hawai‘i Med-QUEST plan:
Med QUEST is a State health insurance plan for those who meet low-income criteria. For more information,
please visit the Department of Human Services, Med QUEST website: http://humanservices.hawaii.gov/mqd/

Out-of state students and students who have non- Hawai‘i or foreign insurance plans:
Please review carefully the terms of your health insurance coverage. Your insurance may not cover medical
services performed away from your home location and/or designated medical facilities or providers.

medical health insurance and medical evacuation and repatriation coverage while attending UH. For F-1
