Most services at the Student Health and Counseling Center are free and you do not need the Student Health Insurance to be seen. Counseling visits are free. Visit the Self Care station in our waiting room for many free supplies including: sore throat kits, cough drops, band-aids, condoms, menstrual supplies, mental health tools and more.
Charges apply for in-house diagnostic tests, physical exams, some individual pre-travel consultations, immunizations, annual gynecology exams, some medications, supplies, nutritional counseling, and some treatments. Contact us for current prices.
The Student Health and Counseling Center accepts cash, check, credit/debit cards, and charges posted to the student account.
The Student Health Center only bills the College Insurance Plan directly and all in house services are covered at 100% (free). For all other insurances, you can find an insurance ready receipt in your MyChart.
Outside lab tests will be billed to the insurance company on file by Bronson Hospital Laboratory. It is the student’s responsibility to verify if the insurance participates and the student is responsible for any uncovered lab charges.

Medical Excuse Policy:
Student Health and Counseling Center does not provide medical excuses for missed classes, exams, or assignments since medical conditions are confidential and frequently not verifiable. This policy is based on our limited resources, which are better dedicated to providing health care; the inability for us to make valid determinations about illnesses or injuries students may have effectively managed through self-care; and our commitment to student privacy. We suggest that students dialogue with faculty members regarding their circumstances for missed classes or assignments.
This policy is consistent with the recommendations of the American College Health Association and is similar to other colleges and universities. It is respectful of students and their responsibilities, promotes trust among students and faculty and allows students more time to devote to their studies.
