INSURANCE INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW...
  1. The insurance can be purchased annually, semi-annually, quarterly or by the semester.
  2. The insurance does send renewal reminders. However, be aware that they send it to the address you provided initially. It is your responsibility to report address changes to the insurance company. Renewals are ultimately your responsibility so mark your calendar to prevent a lapse of coverage.
  3. The insurance is a "preferred provider" policy (see page 6 of brochure) which means there are certain medical facilities and physicians which will provide you with an 80/20 split on costs of covered benefits. To locate a preferred provider visit http://www.healtheos.com
    • click on providers
    • click on find a doctor or hospital
    • search for provider by using zip code and 50 mile radius
  4. If you go to an "Out of Network" (someone not on the Preferred Provider List) the insurance will only pay a 60/40 split ON THE BENEFITS.
  5. It is important that you read your insurance booklet, especially those items that are NOT COVERED (THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS SECTION).
  6. If you do have reason to file a claim, print a copy of the claim form which is on-line at http://www.sas-mn.com/claimform download.html , make a copy of the material (invoice, etc.) and send the original in to the insurance company at: Student Assurance Services, P. O. Box 196, Stillwater, MN 55082-0196.   Keep a copy for your records, documenting the date sent in and any other pertinent information. 
  7. YOU MUST RESPOND to any correspondence you receive from the insurance company promptly.  Failure to do so within the required timeframe can result in forfeiture of coverage for that claim.
  8. A copy of your insurance card is in the insurance packet.  Additional insurance cards are available on line at: http://www.sas-mn.com/ .  You must  log-in to have access to a duplicate insurance card.
  9. The policy number is on the membership card.
