Health Insurance Information Sheet
RISD is committed to promoting good health and meeting the medical needs of its students. A health insurance plan is critical
in providing peace of mind, knowing that students can receive the services they need in the event of a sickness or injury.
The College requires all students to carry adequate medical insurance to help cover the extra expenses of medical treatment
that is not covered by our Health Services. All medical insurance policies must be from a U.S. domestic insurance
company. Non U.S. based Insurance companies or coverage provided in countries with socialized medicine, including
Canada, does NOT meet the insurance requirement.
To assist in providing your student with the coverage they will need during their summer studies at RISD, we have contracted
with the University Health Plans Insurance Program to offer The Pre-College Student Health Insurance Plan. The Plan includes
a local and national network of Preferred Providers, and is designed to be an affordable option. You can review the plan by
clicking on the University Health Plans website http://www.universityhealthplans.com/intro/RISD.html and selecting Rhode
Island School of Design. We urge you to enroll in this Plan for several reasons.
Although many families have some form of insurance, it's important to ensure that students are adequately covered while
attending school. All too often situations arise where a student requires medical or mental health care beyond what is available
at the RISD Health Center, only to discover that their insurance covers them only in the event of an emergency or in their
home geographic region. This frequently results in students having to take an otherwise unnecessary leave of absence from
their studies to return home in order to get the treatment they need. In other situations, the student’s insurance plan may
provide coverage in RI, but the list of providers they must choose from is extremely limited and often are not close to campus,
making access a significant problem. RISD Health Center staff members are rarely familiar with these providers and therefore
cannot assist the student with any recommendations. Further, coverage that is provided is often insufficient in meeting the
student’s need. The result is an added out of pocket expense for parents who must pay privately for adequate care.
To assist you in making an informed decision regarding your student’s health insurance needs, here are some general
questions to ask your current health plan to ensure that it provides adequate coverage:
• Does your current health plan provide coverage while in the area of the RISD campus? Many HMO plans provide
coverage for Emergency Treatment only, while out-of-area of the local HMO.
• Does your current health plan cover mental health services? Many employer-sponsored plans provide very limited
coverage for mental health services.
• Does your current health plan provide coverage anywhere in the world, including medical evacuation and
repatriation benefits?
• Does your current health plan include a nationwide network of Preferred Providers, guaranteeing acceptance of
your insurance plan, and reducing the student’s out-of-pocket expenses? Many employer-sponsored plans are
managed-care type plans, with a regionally based preferred provider network.
• Does your current health plan include Prescription Drug coverage, and a nationwide network of member
pharmacies? Many employer sponsored plans do not provide prescription drug coverage, or only very limited benefits
available at certain local pharmacies.
While many of students' health issues can be met by Health Services, there are times when referrals to community providers
are necessary. At such times, the Student Accident and Sickness Plan provides coverage worldwide and allows students to
seek care from any licensed provider, once the referral from RISD Health Services is made. Students also have access to a
nationwide Preferred Provider Network, as well as a national network of member pharmacies.
When students use a preferred provider, their out-of-pocket expenses can be limited as students’ coinsurance expenses are
based on negotiated Preferred Provider fees. The Plan provides coverage for expenses relating to injury or sickness including
diagnostic testing, lab and x-ray services, doctor visits, and prescription drugs.
It is your responsibility to carefully compare your current insurance plan with that offered by RISD through University Health
Plans to ensure that the coverage is truly comparable. Should you choose NOT to take the insurance plan sponsored by RISD
and offered through University Health Plans, you are attesting to the fact that you are familiar with both plans and will be
responsible for providing for your student’s medical and/or mental health needs should your own insurance prove insufficient.
We encourage you to read the information provided and take the time to make an informed decision regarding your health
coverage. Should you have questions regarding the The Pre-College Student Health Insurance Plan or to enroll, please
contact Marcia O'Neill at University Health Plans at 800-437-6448, xt.116 or go to
http://www.universityhealthplans.com/intro/RISD.html.

RISD Health Services General Information
Health Services is a clinic staffed by nurse practitioners, nurses and office administrators who serve the needs of
RISD students. Health Services is an ambulatory care setting (i.e. sick visits and injuries). The health fee allows
all pre-college students to receive medical care from RISD’s Health Service regardless of their insurance. Insurance
is required for any medical services that a student may require outside of RISD’s Health Service.
Health Services
Homer Hall (lower Quad)
401-454-6625
Open Monday – Friday 7:30 am -5:00 pm
Except for emergencies, hours of operation are by appointment only.
Health Insurance
All students enrolled in the Pre-College Program must provide proof of insurance that meets the guidelines outlined
in the enclosed Health Insurance Information Sheet. Please carefully read the requirements before filling out the
Health Insurance Information Form.
Emergencies
If there is a medical or mental health emergency when Health Services and the Counseling Center are closed,
students should call Public Safety at 401-454-6666 or ext. 6666. A Public Safety Emergency Medical Technician
(EMT) will respond and the Administrator on-call will be notified. If necessary, Public Safety will arrange transportation
to an appropriate medical facility and/or arrangements will be made for the student to speak with the counselor on-call.
Specialists
When necessary, transportation to specialists in the community can be arranged through Health Services via cab.
Costs for transportation to medical facilities off-campus are the student’s responsibility. Students are financially
responsible for any medical services received off-campus.
Special Considerations
Parents or guardians who feel that their son or daughter may require special medical or mental health related
considerations must arrange for specialized care with a provider in the community. Parents or guardians are
encouraged to discuss these issues with Health Services before the student arrives on campus.
Medications
Students are expected to manage their supply and administration of all medications. Students can arrange to
have an account set up with a local pharmacy for delivery to Health Services. Students will then be notified when
to pick up their medications. For more information, please refer to the Pharmacies in Providence document
on our website at www.risd.edu/Students/Wellness/Health_Services/.
Counseling and Psychological Services
RISD’s Counseling and Psychological Services can provide psychological assessment and triage. If on-going care
is needed, counseling center staff will provide the student with a referral to a provider in the community. Costs for
transportation to clinicians off-campus are the student’s responsibility. Students are financially responsible for any
psychological services received off-campus.
We hope that your experience at RISD is satisfying and rewarding and we look forward to meeting you on check-in
day. In the meantime, if you have any questions regarding Health Services or the required medical forms, please
call us at 401-454-6625 or email us at health@risd.edu.
