Note

• For the 2019-2020 process, all submitted waiver decision forms will be subject to a new waiver verification. The intent of the waiver verification process is to assess whether or not your insurance plan meets the requirements of USD and the Affordable Care Act by providing access to health care providers and comprehensive benefits when you are at the University.

• Students enrolled in the USD Student Health Insurance Plan can reduce their out-of pocket costs by seeking care at the USD Student Health Center (SHC) or Counseling Center (CC), and obtaining a referral from the center before seeking care from an in-network community provider.

• Students who do not seek care at the Student Health Center or obtain a referral, will be responsible for an in-network $300 per policy year or out-of-network $600 per policy year deductible.  

• All currently registered undergraduate, graduate, law and paralegal students who have paid the health fee are eligible for services at the USD SHC.
• Visits with a medical provider are free of charge. Students enrolled in the student health insurance plan may incur a modest fee for medications, immunizations, specialty services and labs. Payment is due at the time of service at the SHC. Patients may pay with check, CampusCash, VISA/MasterCard, American Express, and Apple Pay.
