How is the Student Health Insurance different from the Health Fee on my student bill each semester?
The required student health fee is not insurance. This fee covers the basic care offered at Student Health Services, including Medical Clinic, Sports Medicine Clinic and Women’s Health Clinic office visits. Charges for laboratory procedures, x-rays and prescriptions are provided at a discounted cost. Your student health fee also pays for wellness programs to enhance your personal health and well-being. Health insurance offsets the cost of services not covered under the student health fee. It also gives students access to services not available at the Student Health Center. The UNC System-Wide Student Health Insurance Hard Waiver Plan covers the student anywhere in the world for a covered sickness and injury.
