No fees are charged for treatment in the Office of Student Health Services. However, patients are responsible for prescriptions, lab work, or x-rays ordered by the nurse practitioner. Patients are also responsible for any hospital services and nurse practitioner or lab fees charged for services off campus whether or not the patient was referred by the Office of Student Health Services.
The Office of Student Health Services makes referrals to local hospitals and walk-in clinics.
