Fee Types
We maintain a small dispensary onsite for commonly used medications and contraceptives for which there is a charge.
Only contraceptives are free with the Aetna Student Health Insurance. For all other medications there is a charge, regardless of insurance.
All vaccines offered at Primary Care are free to students with the Aetna Student Health Insurance.
Students with outside insurance will be asked to pay for their vaccines at the time of their visit and will be given paperwork to submit a claim for reimbursement. Check with your outside insurance provider to make sure you will be reimbursed before paying upfront for vaccines.
