The University offers a health insurance plan for students. This may be an excellent option for students who may not have insurance coverage or whose out-of-state insurance only covers emergency visits in the Norman area.

OUHS is the primary service provider of the plan, but we are not the plan administrators. This means we can’t always tell you if your charges are covered by the SHP or how much your out-of-pocket costs will be. However, most students have little to no out-of-pocket expenses with visits at Goddard Health Center (benefit coverage does change when receiving care outside of Goddard). More information about the student health plan can be found here.
