Health Services

Students enrolled at The University of Montana Western must either carry their own health insurance plan or enroll in the plan sponsored by Montana Western.

Please contact the Dean of Students Office for a brochure on the Montana Western/Blue Cross Blue Shield Student Insurance Plan.

Western contracts with the Community Health Clinic to provide basic medical care to all of its students. This service is paid for out of the fees students pay to the university and there is no extra cost for the clinic's services. Additional information about the Health Clinic is provided below.
