Costs & Eligibility

Eligibility for Services

All currently registered undergraduate, graduate, law, and paralegal students who have paid a health fee are eligible for services at the USD Student Health Center. Spouses and dependents are not eligible for services.  Faculty and staff may see a registered nurse for a fee of $5 a visit for blood pressure checks, minor first aid, or "triage" of illness. Visits with providers (doctors, nurse practitioners) are limited to students only.

Costs

Most services are provided free of charge at the Student Health Center.  Modest fees to cover costs are required for medications, immunizations and certain physical exams and labs.  Payment is due at the time of service at the Student Health Center. Patients may pay with cash, check, Campus Cash, or VISA/Mastercard. 

All X-rays and some lab work are provided by off-campus facilities. It is the student's responsibility for payment directly to the facilities. Payment for emergency services or specialist care is also the student's responsibility.

Important note:  The Student Health Center does not bill insurance companies.  If a student wishes to use insurance to cover costs of medications or services, the student should find an off-campus pharmacy, lab or provider within the insurance plan.
