Insurance
Oregon State University Student Health Services is now an in-network provider with most major insurance companies. Use this page to learn how to use health insurance at OSU and options if you do not have access to health insurance.
We recommend adequate health insurance coverage for all Oregon State University students. Health insurance provides financial protection against unexpected medical expenses and facilitates access to services, such as preventive screenings, vaccinations, and mental health support.
Don't have health insurance? Oregon State University offers the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) — an affordable insurance option that is easy to use at our clinics. International students are required to enroll in SHIP and are automatically enrolled.
You may also be eligible for Oregon Medicaid. To learn more and find out how to enroll, contact a Benton County Health Department health navigator. The coordinated care organization affiliated with Student Health Services is OHP-IHN.
