Medical, prescription, dental, and vision insurance form the foundation of the health care programs offered to UM System faculty, staff, and retirees. We care about your health. We want to support an engaged, energized, and innovative University community—for your own fulfillment and in support of our University mission.
Choose the plans that are right for you, and think of your insurance as a tool to protect your health as much as you think of it when treating health conditions. All programs offer qualified preventive care for free.
