Health Insurance
The health and welfare of the students at the Health Science Center is a high priority of the administration and faculty. All students are required to have annual health insurance to be in compliance with Health Science Center policy. Students have the right and option to choose any health insurance plan they feel is best suited to their needs, however, a school-sponsored Student Injury and Sickness Insurance Plan is provided through United HealthCare Student Resources - http//www.uhcsr.com/. Toll-free number is 866-429-4868 or e-mail: Customerservice@uhcsr.com. Brochures are available in the Office of Student Affairs.. When indicated, it is highly recommended that spousal and family insurance is a component of the policy chosen. Having chosen a plan, the student is responsible to follow the rules, regulations and guidelines of his/her particular plan.
The Student Health Clinic is a part of the Department of Family and Community Medicine and is located in the Center for Biomedical Health Building (CBH) at 3400 Camp Bowie Blvd., Suite 113; and serves as the Student population of the University. Once enrolled, all student health appointments may be made through this clinic. Health appointments include acute and chronic visits, review of immunization records, administration of vaccinations and TB skin tests, medication refills, and completion of forms required for rotations and other situations where copies of records are required. Appointments are necessary to assure that there are personnel available to meet your needs and to allow time to obtain your medical record from the records room. However, minor medical emergencies may be accommodated. Call (817) 735-2228 for an appointment.
The Student Health Fee, assessed at the time of registration, covers most expenses incurred while obtaining student health care at the Central Clinic. These benefits do not extend to care provided for dependents of any student. A sliding scale payment plan may be established to assist students with dependents if needed. Charges incurred due to referral out of the Clinic are considered the student’s responsibility. Fees do not cover laboratory work or x-rays.
