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 & MCV campuses. APPOINTMENTS ARE REQUIRED & must be scheduled BY PHONE.
Who is eligible to use Student Health? 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. Fall 2020 students are eligible to use Student Health starting August 10, 2020 through December 21, 2020.
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, health insurance is strongly recommended 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 health insurance through the Marketplace.
What payment forms are accepted at Student Health? Student Health is cashless. Only major credit cards, debit cards, Rambucks, Apple Pay, & Samsung Pay are accepted.
Are You Covered?
Need to apply for, renew, or change your health insurance?
- Many students are eligible for quality health coverage through Virginia Medicaid based on their income. To see if you qualify, go to www.coverva.org. Enrollment applications for Medicaid are accepted year-round.
- Open enrollment for the 2021 Health Insurance Marketplace ended December 15, 2020. After December 15, 2020, you cannot get 2021 coverage through the Marketplace unless you qualify for a special enrollment period.
