LouieCare

LouieCare is designed for use at Northern Arizona University Campus Health Services and does NOT replace a health insurance plan. It ensures easy access to on-campus health care by eliminating deductibles, filing claims, and other hassles with your insurance carrier.  LouieCare is NOT a health insurance plan and is NOT an ACA approved health insurance plan.

For less than many private insurance plans’ annual deductible, you can purchase LouieCare for $175 per semester. This plan covers many, but not all, services offered through Medical Services with a small co-pay. This plan will also cover individual counseling appointments at CHS’s Counseling Services. Although the plan is open all year round to enroll, it must be paid for in full in order for the plan to be in effect. Once selected, coverage will remain in effect for the remainder of the semester and cannot be canceled.

Eligibility for Louie Care

Students must be registered for 1 credit hour at NAU and have paid the Health and Wellness fee to purchase Louie Care. Students can select Louie Care for the full year if they are taking classes (1 Credit hour) over the summer.
