Students using their family insurance for coverage must be aware of their coverage in Lenawee County, Michigan. Please check with your insurance company for a list of physicians in Lenawee County who will accept your insurance. Also, remember that unless a student has access to a vehicle, physicians in neighboring towns may be inaccessible to them.
