Healthcare Insurance for Students

UMHB does not offer healthcare insurance policies for students. You may visit HealthCare.gov or Texas Department of Insurance to shop for individual healthcare insurance plans.

UMHB is not responsible for any healthcare expenses you may incur while enrolled as a UMHB student. UMHB strongly recommends that each student maintain healthcare insurance. For participation in certain UMHB programs such as athletics, healthcare insurance is required. If you do not currently have healthcare insurance, you may visit HealthCare.gov to access the healthcare marketplace. Some healthcare insurance policies require you to use an approved network of doctors, hospitals, and clinics.
