Students who have paid the Health and Counseling Centers Fee or the Medical Student Coral Gables Health Fee are eligible to receive care at the Student Health Service and Counseling Center. You are NOT required to have the University sponsored health insurance plan in order to utilize the services of the Student Health Service. Many services are provided at no charge and charges for other services can be submitted for payment to most insurance companies.
The Health & Counseling Centers Fee is mandatory for undergraduate, graduate, and law students regardless of credit load and all students participating in an off-campus program who are enrolled in the University-sponsored student insurance plan.
Employees may be charged the Health and Counseling Centers fee on their initial bill, however, the charge will be removed from their bill soon after the last day to drop or add a class, if they remain eligible for tuition remission benefits. Dependents of UM employees are treated the same as all other students.
Summer students who have been charged the Health and Counseling Centers Fee can receive care at the Student Health Service. For some enrolled students, the fee is automatically charged, for others the fee must be added via CaneLink.
