General Information
The Student Health Center provides routine and acute health care for all students who have satisfied the health fee requirement. The health fee makes the student eligible for services at the health center during that semester. A $15 co-pay is deducted from the health fee each visit.
We recommend that if a student has insurance that they visit our website at http://services.valdosta.edu/health/insurance.aspx to learn more about our acceptance of participating insurance plans to assist with additional charges.
Some medications for short-term illnesses are provided at no additional cost. Care at the Student Health Center is provided by two physicians, nurse practitioners, pharmacist, lab tech, nurses, x-ray technician, and office staff.
Referrals to private medical personnel are at the student's expense.
All patient records are confidential and in compliance with HIPAA regulations. Records may be released with a written request from the patient (HIPAA Aughtorization to Disclose Health Information form).
