The Student Medical Insurance Plan provides health insurance coverage that compliments the on-campus primary care services, covering off-campus services such as emergency room, hospitalizations, surgery, ambulance and specialty care. Students are automatically enrolled in the Student Medical Insurance Plan (SMIP) as a condition of SIUC enrollment, registration and the assessment of the Student Medical Benefit Fee. For more information on the Plan, please call the Student Insurance Office at (618) 453-4413 or visit us on the second floor of the Student Health Center.
