You do not need insurance to visit the Health Center, but you are responsible for any charges incurred i.e. co-pay, immunizations, laboratory tests, supplies. All students should have adequate health and accident insurance to avoid the unexpected interruption of their education by high medical expenses. The services of the Health Center should not be confused or substituted for the services covered by hospitalization and urgent care insurance coverage or referrals. Some insurance policies may not cover the student outside the issuing area. Students should consult their insurance carrier about providing additional insurance.

International students must provide proof of a basic major medical insurance policy before completing the final validation.

If you do not have a current major medical insurance plan, you may purchase a policy from a private insurer which Gonzaga facilitates by billing charges for this coverage. Each year the plan should be reviewed for the coverage, since it is subject to change. Students may purchase this plan at Student Accounts at the beginning of each term.

A brochure is available at Student Accounts or at the Health Center during orientation.
