Finding a Doctor or Hospital in Your Network
There are two hospitals in Evansville: Ascension St. Vincent and Deaconess. It is important to check with your insurance provider to see which hospital and which doctors are in your network. If you go to a doctor who is not in your network, you may have to pay a substantial portion of the bill before your health insurance covers the remaining portion. Please email intlprog@usi.edu or call 812-465-1248 if you have any questions regarding health insurance.
If you have GeoBlue Insurance, you are in the Deaconess network. The health clinic on campus is part of Deaconess Hospital.
