Health Insurance & Medical Services

Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP)

Loyola Law School requires that all students have health insurance coverage or surgery, hospitalization, specialty and preventative medical care.

All students are automatically enrolled annually and will be charged for SHIP.

Students who are covered by a personal medical health insurance may WAIVE SHIP and have charges removed/reversed from their student account by providing proof of active coverage in a qualified health insurance plan at www.gallagherstudent.com/lmu.

WAIVERS MUST be submitted each year.

Beginning in early, students can obtain information about the plan, coverage, providers and waivers at www.gallagherstudent.com/lmu.  Information on voluntary dental and vision coverage are also available.

• SHIP Rates as published on the Office of Student Accounts website.

Voluntary Dental and Vision Coverage

Students are able to purchase dental and vision coverage on a strictly voluntary basis.  Please go to www.gallagherstudent.com/lmu for more information.

 

How to Waive SHIP

Students waiving SHIP coverage may do so online at www.gallagherstudent.com/lmu.

Health Insurance Resources for Graduating Students/Recent Graduates

Loyola Law School graduates are generally given a thirty-day (30-day) extension for available services through the Student Health Services (SHS) on the Westchester campus. This extension will commence on graduation day. Fees during this time are due at the time of service and will not be billed to student accounts.

The Law Student Division of the American Bar Association (ABA) has developed the ABA Member Health Exchange to browse and purchase health insurance plans. Review their Before the Bar article and webinar recording for more information.

Covered California is a free service that connects Californians with brand-name health insurance under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

Student Health Services (SHS) at Westchester Campus

Student Health Services
1 LMU Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90045
Burns Recreation Center (North Side of Building, 1st Floor)
(310) 338-2881

Loyola Law School students enrolled in six or more units may access Student Health Services (SHS), a full-service medical office located on the Loyola Marymount University campus in Westchester. Staffed by a team of physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, an x-ray technologist, and trained support staff members, their services include treatment for illnesses and injuries, preventive care, gynecological health services, vaccinations and allergy shots, X-rays, health education/wellness programs, and more. Procedures or health conditions outside their scope are referred out to a local health care facility at which the student is responsible for all costs. SHS is only available to students; a student's spouse/family are not eligible.

Schedule a confidential appointment online via the MyHealth Portal or by calling (310) 338-2881. In an effort to better serve students and to decrease waiting times, all visits will be by appointment only. Same day appointments are usually available. Students must present their student ID card.

Loyola Law School students must pay a one-time access fee per semester if utilizing SHS. Additional fees may be incurred for laboratory tests, x-rays, immunizations, medications, and supplies. Fees are billed to the student's account, which may be paid in the Student Accounts Office. Patients are responsible for asking SHS for itemized billing statements and submitting claims to their respective insurance plans for reimbursement. Loyola Law School graduates are generally given a thirty-day (30-day) extension for available services through SHS. This extension will commence on graduation day. Fees during this time are due at the time of service and will not be billed to student accounts.

SHS is not an insurance plan. It does not assume any responsibility for medical costs incurred by students. All consultations and medical records are strictly confidential and are covered by the laws of confidentiality of the State of California. Medical records will not be released without the student's written consent.
