Insurance & Billing
All students are eligible for care with or without health insurance.
How much does it cost to be seen at SHS?
Like any doctor visit, there is a fee for services provided. If you have insurance, Student Health Services (SHS) will submit these charges to your insurance company. Patient responsibility will be determined by your insurance plan.
Charges are incurred for:
- Provider Office Visits
- Ancillary services such as lab work, x-ray, minor surgery, immunizations, wart treatment, ear wash, allergy injections, IUD's, PrEP and procedures.
- Physical exams such as pre-employment, pre-operative, FAA (flight), and women’s and men’s annual exams.
You will be responsible for all co-pays, deductibles and co-insurance. Charges that are non-covered by insurance plan will also be your responsibility to pay.
Please bring your current insurance card with you to every appointment.
We understand that health insurance is complex and difficult to understand. Student Health Services has an Insurance Coordinator able to talk with you to answer questions about health insurance and assist you in finding coverage. If you have questions, please call our Insurance Coordinator at 701-777-3457.
Steps for Billing to Insurance
- Your medical appointment determines the charges assessed for your medical care.
- Insurance is filed with your insurance company. Provide a copy of your insurance at your appointment.
- Insurance is processed by insurance company. This usually takes 6-8 weeks.
- Unpaid balances or patient responsibilities will be forwarded to your Campus Connection account.
- To make a payment with HSA/Flexible reimbursement card, please call (701) 777-3457 to complete transactions with SHS Insurance Coordinator.
Verify Your Insurance
Most young adults are eligible to stay on their parent’s family plan until 26 years of age. Student Health Services will submit charges to your insurance provider or help you submit charges on your own, depending on your insurance company, to minimize your out-of-pocket costs.
Please verify with insurance carrier if UND Student Health Services is considered to be an “in-network” participating provider. Some plans allow you to ask for an “out-of area” network waiver form, which will reduce your out-of-pocket costs. The phone number to call and inquire is typically located on the back of your insurance card.
These are some of the insurance plans Student Health Services is in network with:
- Aetna
- Blue Cross and Blue Shield (PPO provider)
- Cigna
- HealthPartners
- Medica
- North Dakota Medicaid (Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota Expanded Medicaid)
- Preferred One
- Sanford Health
- Tricare
- United Healthcare (commercial coverage)
- United Healthcare Student Resources (NDUS endorsed student insurance plan)
