While some out-of-state and international health plans may lack coverage in the New Orleans area, T-SHIP includes a wealth of in-network providers, including the city’s major hospitals and a wide array of specialists. T-SHIP also covers students when they travel, so they’re covered at home and abroad.
Students with T-SHIP enjoy low or no copays, deductibles or coinsurance at the Tulane Health Center as well as low deductibles and impressive coinsurance rates with other providers.
T-SHIP is a University-sponsored health insurance plan available to Tulane students through United Healthcare Student Resources (UHCSR). It can be used as a primary health insurance plan, or it may supplement a student’s existing family insurance plan. Premiums collected are paid directly to the insurance company and are non-refundable after the health insurance action deadline. The University does not receive any benefits for enrolling students in T-SHIP.
You may access and print your health insurance ID card once you have created a user name and password to access your UHCSR MyAccount. Visit the account creation page and follow the on-screen prompts. You may also call United Healthcare Student Resources at (800) 767-0700 to request a health insurance ID card to be mailed to your current address. Please present your card at all healthcare visits.
Vision and dental plans are also available to Tulane students. Plan details and enrollment instructions can be accessed via the Gallagher portal.
Students who are enrolled in T-SHIP and are assessed the Tulane Campus Health Fee must visit a medical provider at the Health Center to obtain a referral prior to receiving care in the community. Specialist referrals must be obtained each policy year per medical event.
Students with T-SHIP who need follow-up care after an emergency room visit must visit the Health Center to obtain a referral before receiving follow-up care in the community.
