In cooperation with Arizona Board of Regents and ASU Health Services, ASU offers an affordable top-tiered medical insurance policy to students. This insurance provides access to the health and counseling services at any ASU Health Service location. The insurance plan is designed to provide group coverage to students that are currently uninsured, need a less expensive alternative or need an Arizona provider network. Students on the Aetna Student Health Insurance are still required to receive their primary care through ASU Health Services and are required to obtain a referral to an off-campus provider. Each year the plan is negotiated by a Tri-University leadership group with input provided by student advisory committees. The plan is inclusive for all students with attention on the unique needs of the student body in terms of race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, and is non-binary and transgender inclusive. The Health Insurance office is located in the Health Services building, at the Tempe campus and can be reached at 480-965-2411 or insurance@asu.edu to answer questions about this policy.
Additional information on Aetna Student Health can be found below or at aetnastudenthealth.com.

Program description and enrollment information
Program description and enrollment information
ASU Health Services is pleased to offer a Bridge service discount program designed to save the student money if they need certain health services at the University. ASU Health Service's mission is to provide quality health care at low cost to the students at ASU. Even though you have health insurance, it may not cover everyday health expenses like preventive or routine visits, lab tests, x-rays or consultations with an on-campus specialist. Many of the insurance plans require a higher deductible, or no coverage when the student is "out of network".
ASU Health Services now offers a discount program to pay for some of these services (this is not an insurance policy). It is a way to reduce your total health care costs for certain services rendered at any of the ASU Health Services locations. Like the Aetna Student Insurance plan, you will automatically be re-enrolled for future semesters (Enrollment for the Bridge plan is open all semester for $153 with benefits beginning on the Bridge form enrollment date).
How Do I Enroll?
- Sign in at My ASU
- Under Campus Resources, click on Health & Wellness, then click Enroll/Cancel ASU Health Services Bridge Plan; or sign up in person at one of our locations
