It is strongly recommended that all students at K-State carry medical insurance. A University-sponsored student health insurance plan is available at special rates. There are less expensive programs, but it is important to understand that a less expensive program may not offer the same benefits as the one designed by the State of Kansas Health Care Commission. This plan covers most services provided at Lafene Health Center and allows for medical expenses if the students requires care away from the campus. Each full time student enrolled at Kansas State is eligible to participate in the Student Health Insurance Program.
Dependent coverage is also available.
Each student participating in the program pays the full costs of the coverage, except if the student is enrolled and employed by Kansas State as a graduate teaching or graduate research assistant. The reduced premimum rates for graduate teaching and graduate research assistants program reflects the cost to the student after the employer contribution has been made. Enrollment materials and information are available at Lafene Health Center and will be distributed to individual departments before the fall semester begins. Medical history K-State requires a complete medical history, including a current immunization record, on all new students or transfer students. This history must be completed on the Kansas State University medical history form and is required prior to provision of non-emergency treatment at the Health Center.
