What Your Health Fee Covers
You pay your Student Health Fee in the fall, winter and spring quarters. The fee fully covers specific services. See below for more information.
For services not covered by the fee, we will bill the insurance plan we have on file for you. When we bill your insurance for services, you may have some costs to pay, such as copayments or coinsurance. Contact your insurance to check what they cover, and see which insurance plans we are in network with.
If you have NU-SHIP, any services provided in our office are fully covered by your insurance and you will not have to pay anything.
At Northwestern Medicine Student Health Service, your health fee covers certain CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) codes. These are codes that medical professionals and insurance companies use to identify medical services and procedures.
