Will my insurance cover visits to the Health Center?

• The Health Center does not do third party billing.  Fees are greatly discounted and students are asked to pay at the time of services.  They may use MaterCard, Visa, Discover, RU Express, cash, or personal checks.  Students are given an encounter form with diagnosis and procedure codes for each visit.  These may be filed by the student with their insurance company for possible reimbursement.
   

• If lab work is ordered at the Student health Center, students have a choice of payment:

  • The student may pay directly to health Center (prices are discounted)
     

  • The student may elect to have the lab bill their insurance.  The student must provide their insurance card at the time lab work is drawn.  If insurance does not pay, it will be the student's responsibility.  The Health Center discounted prices will not apply.  The Student Health Center will charge a $5.00 venipuncture  fee that is the student's responsibility. 
     

• Students need to have their insurance information with them on campus in case of referrals for specialty care and emergencies.  Parents/guardians are advised to contact their insurance company about coverage in the Radford area
