Why is my student required to both have health insurance and pay a mandatory health fee?
The health fee is part of the UNH Health and Counseling Fee which covers on-campus services offered at Health Services and the Counseling Center. The health fee covers medical visits, many procedures and diagnostic tests, health education programming and counseling, as well as public health efforts. A student’s health insurance company is never billed for services covered by the health fee. However, Health Services provides some services that are not covered by the health fee. If requested, these chargeable services can be billed to an individual’s insurance company. When the required health fee is combined with a student’s health insurance or benefits plan, a student is provided a complete health care package, thereby significantly reducing the risk of an unwanted interruption in his or her academic work.
