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 may be scheduled by phone or online through the Student Health Web Portal. 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 purchase health insurance to cover medical costs not included in the health fee. If you are uninsured, 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.
