We ask that you provide the name and address of your primary care physician.  Some HMO/PPO plans will waive the network requirement if the network physician provides a referral.  Additionally, you should contact your insurance company to find out if physicians in Ames are participating providers.  You may also want to find out if there is additional coverage for college students who are out-of-network.  Again, you are encouraged to consider student health insurance in the event of a non-athletic injury/illness.
