Student Health FAQs
University Student Health Services is a nationally accredited health care provider that offers primary care services to VCU students. Two clinics are located on the Monroe Park and MCV campuses. APPOINTMENTS ARE REQUIRED and must be scheduled by PHONE (online appointment scheduling is not available at this time). If you have an urgent medical need, call Student Health directly for assistance.
Who is eligible to use Student Health? All VCU students who have paid the semester health fee may be seen at Student Health. No health fee is required to use the Student Health Pharmacy or Immunization Services.
What does the health fee cover? There are no co-pays for office visits once the health fee is billed each semester. The health fee does NOT cover prescriptions, referrals, some laboratory services, imaging tests, emergency room visits, etc.
What about health insurance? Student Health does not accept health insurance, so any additional clinic fees are self-pay. However, we strongly recommend that all students obtain health insurance to cover medical costs not included in the health fee. If you are uninsured, check to see if you are eligible for Medicaid or consider purchasing a health insurance policy through the Marketplace.
What payment forms are accepted at Student Health? Student Health is cashless. Only major credit cards, debit cards, Rambucks, Apple Pay, and Samsung Pay are accepted as payment methods.
Are You Covered?
Need to apply for, renew, or change your health insurance?
- Virginia Medicaid is offering a new health coverage option for eligible low-income students. To see if you qualify, go to www.coverva.org. Enrollment applications for Medicaid are accepted year-round.
- Open enrollment for the 2020 Health Insurance Marketplace will run from November 1, 2019 to December 15, 2019. After December 15, 2019, you cannot get 2020 coverage through the Marketplace unless you qualify for a special enrollment period.

Take-Care-Of-Yourself Checklist

- Antibiotic ointment
- Bandaids
- A digital thermometer
- Pain relievers, like ibuprofen (Advil) and acetaminophen (Tylenol)
- An antihistamine pill for allergic reactions (Benadryl, Zyrtec, Claritin, or Allegra)
- Cough and cold medications

- A wide array of student support groups and special events. Check out the Well's events calendar for updated information.
