Establishing a best-in-class health center
We partnered with a small private art college, with approximately 1,100 students. The college wanted to enhance their on-campus offerings since the majority of the student population are residential undergraduates with a smaller group of graduate students. Planned enhancements included new on-campus housing, food service, campus security, and a health center. This was the school’s […]
Development of a Customized Waiver Program for a Large Public System
Academic HealthPlans (AHP) partners with the University of Texas System (UT System), the largest non-profit university within the State of Texas. UT System has 14 campuses and close to 220,000 enrolled students. AHP was able to implement a successful waiver program for each UT System campus based on their unique criteria, via our secure and […]
What Our Clients Think of Us
Academic HealthPlans did an incredible job facilitating SAIC’s transition to a new student health insurance plan. The processes put into place have been smooth, efficient and very user-friendly, and management of the student health insurance program has never been easier. The AHP team has truly been a pleasure to work with and I look forward to an ongoing partnership.
School of the Art Institute of Chicago
Our students, health center administrators, as well as insurance administrators are very pleased with the program AHP delivers and the high quality support provided by the outstanding staff at AHP. Their expertise and attention to detail make student insurance administration easy and reliable. AHP is very responsive to our needs and always keep us ahead of the game.
The University of Texas System
They treat my school like we are part of their family and have created a true bond that makes doing business with them a pleasure. I’ve found you can get the same products anywhere, but you can’t get the outstanding customer service and attention to detail that Academic HealthPlans gives to each and every client. That’s why we’ve stayed with AHP for 19 years!
The University of Northern Colorado
Academic HealthPlans has provided Rochester University with a comprehensive review of current [intercollegiate sports] coverages along with recommendations to fill in some gaps in our coverages. At the same time, we were able to reduce our policy costs year over year. Their knowledge of the market along with their professional marketing of our institution to carriers have provided Rochester University with quality coverage along with tools for tracking our athletic claims. They have walked with our team through the bidding process and have continued to serve our institution through the coverage period. We are pleased to have them as a partner.
Working with Academic HealthPlans has been a breeze. A great deal of care was taken before we ever started the school year to be certain that everything was in place, understood, and initiated. We had a major and sudden change to the structure of our program after all of this work had been done, and they had to accommodate us quickly, which they did, producing new printed brochures and program dates. They not only trained us but also provided training to our students – a wonderful boon when you consider that our students have limited English language skills and significant cultural misunderstandings.
