Tailored Programs For The Whole Student
There's no denying that your students have unique health needs—beyond just their physical well-being. One-third of college students drop out after just their first year, and mental health plays a huge part: Nearly two-thirds report feeling overwhelming anxiety, with 40% of students experiencing depression that makes it hard to function. Through Anthem Student Advantage, your students have access to specialized programs that care for the whole student.
What's more, in a recent survey, 58% of students said they would be willing to pay more for dental, and 49% would pay more for vision.
By addressing their biggest medical and mental health challenges head-on, you can help them to better balance school, life, health, and work throughout the course of their education.
Online After-Hours Care
Not all health issues come up during health center hours. Make sure your students can easily find the care they need day or night—whether it's seeing in-network providers off campus or connecting online 24/7 with doctors and mental health professionals.
- Live, on-demand video visits via smartphone, tablet, or computer
- Costs the same as the office visit copay—or less
- E-prescribing to your pharmacy of choice
- Video visits with in-network, licensed psychologists, psychiatrists, and therapists
- Help from registered nurses around the clock over the phone
- Answers to general health questions and minor health concerns
