Comparable Insurance Criteria

Lewis & Clark College requires that all degree seeking, and visiting, Undergraduate and Law students have medical insurance coverage comparable to that offered through the school's comprehensive Student Health Insurance Plan.

Private insurance coverage is considered comparable to the school’s if it:

• Provides coverage for medically necessary care in the Portland, Oregon area (HMO’s providing emergency coverage only do not meet this requirement).

• Provides coverage for at least $25,000 maximum benefit per (academic) year.

• Provides inpatient and outpatient mental health coverage up to $3,000.

• Will remain in force throughout the academic year or as long as you are a full-time registered student, as defined by your academic program.
