We strongly recommend that all patients have health insurance to help defray the cost of their health care.

Do you accept my health insurance?

No. We are not a participating provider with any insurance company other than UnitedHealthcare student health insurance plan. Patients are directly responsible for payment of fees that are incurred. Upon signing a release form, patients can receive a coded claim form from our insurance office to submit to insurance companies for reimbursement. We do not bill insurance companies except for the sponsored plan. Patients are encouraged to check with their insurance companies to see what services might be covered.

Please note: The Pharmacy is a participating member of most prescription card insurance plans.
