Gold Plan  

The Gold Plan is designed for use at Northern Arizona University Medical Services and does not replace a health insurance policy. It ensures easy access to on-campus health care by eliminating deductibles, filing claims, and other hassles with your insurance carrier.

For less than many private insurance plans' annual deductible, you can purchase the Gold Plan for $120 per semester. This plan covers nearly every service offered through Medical Services, with little or no out-of-pocket expense.

Costs breakdown

Overall plan prices can vary, depending on how you want to pay:

• per fall, spring, or summer semester: $120
• per academic year: $230 (August 16 - May 15)
• per full year: $295 (August 16 - August 15)

Participants in the Gold Plan will pay a $5 co-pay for primary and specialty office visit fees. This $5 fee applies for any of the following services:

• primary care or specialty visits
• well-woman services including pap smears and screening tests
• allergy injections
• labs prescribed, performed, and managed by Medical Services providers
• x-rays prescribed, performed, and managed by Medical Services providers
• procedures like suturing, casting, IV fluids, and colposcopy
• orthopedic supplies

Participants in the Gold Plan will pay a $4 co-pay for a variety of medications (starting in Fall 2013). More details
