How can I pay for treatment that is not covered by my insurance(for example, pre-existing conditions, eyeglasses, or dentalcare)?
Whenever possible, take care of dental and vision problems before leaving home. Dental and Vision Insurance is not required but the University encourages students to have one. If you have to have treatment not covered by your insurance policy, it is important to discuss your financial situation with a financial counselor at the hospital or clinic before any elective (non-emergency) treatment. Find out how much the procedure will cost. They will ask you to list your assets. Tell them how much of your savings you could comfortably use to pay for this procedure. Some hospitals/clinics may demand paymnet in advance; others may be willing to arrange a payment schedule to pay the balance owed over time.
