Student Health Insurance

Beginning 2014, all Americans will be required to have health insurance due to the new Obama Health Care Reform Act. Students attending Pacific Oaks College are encouraged to evaluate their current health insurance coverage. Confidence in the ability to receive adequate services in the event of sickness or injury is critically important to the overall academic experience.

Health insurance options are available to domestic students from independent providers. The plans and providers listed below are not directly affiliated with or managed by Pacific Oaks College. Students are encouraged to compare the plans before choosing one to ensure that the offered coverage best suits individual needs.
