Dear Muhlenberg College Students and Families,

Muhlenberg College is committed to prioritizing the health and wellness of our students. As announced in April, the College is partnering with Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN) for our campus health and counseling services. We are excited to share additional information about that partnership.

Effective August 1, Lehigh Valley Physician Group (LVPG) Family Medicine–Muhlenberg College will provide student-centered primary and behavioral health care, as well as treatment for illness and injury, colds and infectious diseases, reproductive and gynecologic health and public health concerns. With this partnership, there will be many enhancements to the excellent clinical services students already receive.

As an LVPG family medicine practice, charges for office visits at the health center will be billed. LVPG will submit charges to the student’s health insurance on file. Any costs not covered by insurance, including copays, coinsurance and deductibles, will be the student’s responsibility. We encourage you to check with your health insurance carrier to determine if they participate with LVPG. There will be no charge for behavioral health services in the counseling center.

All students are required to have health insurance. The College does offer a student health insurance plan, Highmark Blue Shield, which is in network with LVPG. If your own health insurance does not participate with LVPG, we recommend that you purchase the College’s student health insurance plan. Regardless of whether you wish to purchase this plan, ALL students must log onto the student health insurance website (rcmdstudentbenefits.com/muhlenbergcollege) before August 1 either to enroll in or waive the student health insurance plan for the 2024-2025 academic year. As part of the waiver process, you will be required to submit your current health insurance plan information.

As you may have questions about this partnership, please refer to the frequently asked questions below. If you have additional questions, please contact health services ([email protected] / 484-664-3199) or counseling services ([email protected] / 484-664-3178). We look forward to welcoming you in the fall as LVPG Family Practice–Muhlenberg College.

Sincerely,

Allison Williams, Vice President, College Life
