Health insurance
Health insurance is not required to use the Health Center and the Health Center does NOT file insurance claims for charged services or supplies. However, students are highly encouraged to obtain supplemental hospital-accident insurance to cover services such as hospitalization, emergency services, specialist care, major surgery, pharmacy, and ambulance transport. Charges for these services are not covered by the Student Health Center Fee. If health insurance coverage is available through a family plan, students are urged to have the name of the insurance carrier and policy/subscriber numbers available on campus. Students with US citizenship who are not covered under family policies are encouraged to consult the Marketplace website at www.healthcare.gov for information on health insurance.
No show fee
Due to high patient demand and the limited availability of appointments, students who miss an appointment, do not cancel their appointment 1 hour prior to the scheduled appointment time, or show up five or more minutes late to their appointment will be charged a $15.00 NO SHOW fee.
Call 608.785.8558 (day or night) or access the SHC MyHealth Portal at http://myhealth.uwlax.edu to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
