Basic review of coverage  GradCare is a medical insurance plan exclusively for Graduate Student Instructors, Graduate Student Staff Assistants, Graduate Student Research Assistants, benefit-eligible fellowship holders and medical school students. GradCare is administered by Blue Care Network.

The provider network in Ann Arbor includes: University Health Service, University of Michigan Health System and participating community pediatricians.

There are no deductibles to meet before the plan begins to cover expenses. Outpatient services (such as office visits, mental health, chemical dependency, routine physical exams, routine pediatric exams, routine immunizations, allergy testing and injections) are covered with a co-pay. In-patient hospital services (such as admissions, physician services and surgery) are covered in full for medically necessary conditions.

Prescription drug coverage is provided under a separate plan through SXC. For more information, visit the UM Benefits Office website.

How GradCare works with UHS when UHS is your primary care provider

  • The $15 office visit co-pay is covered under the health service fee for currently enrolled students.
