Cost & Payments

Paying for services at the Student Health Center

Price ranges are listed below for some common services at the Student Health Center. Individual out-of-pocket costs will be dependent on your insurance carrier. Your student health fee entitles you to additional benefits with no out-of-pocket costs.

Students facing financial hardship can request support by completing our Request for Financial Assistance form. Once submitted, you may carry a balance while we work with you to create a manageable payment plan.

Two convenient ways to pay for Student Health Center services

Bill your insurance

We contract with each of the major national health insurance networks. We will file your claim and an any out-of-pocket expense you might incur may be paid with your IU student account, cash, check, health savings accounts, and credit/debit cards. If we don’t accept your insurance, stop by the cashier after your visit and pick up an itemized receipt to submit to your insurer.

Send charges to your student account

If you’re an enrolled student, you can skip the checkout line and have your charges automatically sent to your student account—you’ll pay them when you pay your student account bill.

If you choose this option, we will send an encrypted email with an itemized receipt to your IU email address. Look for this email a few days after your service.

How much will it cost to . . . ?

Please note that for some services, including those not listed, charges may vary based on the treatment you need. If you have health insurance, these are the charges billed to your insurer. Your out-of-pocket cost is determined by your health insurance plan. These costs are estimates only.
