Health Care

Providence Family and Sports Medicine
Averett has partnered with an off-campus medical facility, Providence Family and Sports Medicine, to provide health care services for all full-time students. Students must present their Averett ID and their medical insurance card, along with their co-payment, at the time of service. Transportation is available via the Cougar Express.

Student Health History
Students must have a health form on file in The Dean of Students Office. New students should submit this form prior to their first semester. Returning students should update the Health History Form (PDF) as needed.

Health Insurance

• All students enrolled full-time at Averett University must have insurance coverage. Students must either register for the university's insurance or, if for those who are covered on their parents' insurance, they can waive out of Averett's coverage.
• To sign up for Averett's coverage or to waive coverage, students need to go to the Pearce & Pearce website and choose Virginia, and then choose Averett University from the drop down menu. From there follow the information about registering for or waiving out of the insurance. For students registering for the Averett coverage, your student account will be billed according to the fee structure listed on the Pearce & Pearce website.
• If you are a student athlete, you should contact the athletic trainer to be sure you have the necessary coverage for your participation in intercollegiate athletics.
