All students are our priority and our team of providers partner with students to help them stay healthy. We provide exceptional and confidential services, including evaluation and treatment of illnesses and injuries, and preventative care to ALL ACTIVE STUDENTS regardless of their health insurance coverage.

Costs / Fees:

All appointments are free. There may be small charges associated with some testing, supplies, and medications ranging from around $5 to $25, but all charges are disclosed prior to billing.

We accept cash or can bill your student account for any charges accumulated during your visit.

Labs and Imaging:

Most lab work can be collected on site and can be billed to your health insurance or paid out of pocket. The cost for lab work submitted through your insurance is subject to your coverage. Please contact your insurance company prior to lab collection for estimated costs. We also accept outside lab orders from your home doctors or specialists.

We do not have on site imaging services (X-ray, Ultrasound, CT, etc.) but can order imaging at local hospitals or imaging centers.
