Insurance

The university does not offer a school-sponsored insurance plan. However, it is strongly recommended that students obtain coverage while enrolled at PBA, as the university acknowledges the significance of healthcare protection for its community. Below is a list of health insurance options tailored to specific student groups, which can aid students in making an informed decision. Please be aware that by clicking any of the links provided, you acknowledge that Palm Beach Atlantic University does not endorse any specific insurance plan. PBA strongly advises students to review the policies of these plans or agents carefully before purchasing coverage.
PBA is committed to supporting our students. For individual support, please contact the Office of Counseling & Wellness at 561-803-2576.
