Insurance and Charges
Affordable Health Care
Campus Health is able to provide affordable health care as a result of the tuition and fees package paid by students enrolled in on-campus classes. This eliminates charges for most office visits (regardless of what insurance you have) and allows the cost for care to be less expensive than most doctors’ offices in the Raleigh area. Some services such as women’s annual well visits, lab work, X-rays, physicals, immunizations, physical therapy and other treatments have charges.
While there may be charges associated with your visit to Campus Health, we believe that finances should not prevent students from getting necessary health care. If there are charges associated with your visit, you can pay on the day of your appointment or have your charges billed to your student account. We also will courtesy file for most insurance plans.
Summer Fees
Currently-enrolled NC State students registered for on-campus classes and paying on-campus student fees are automatically eligible for services at Campus Health. Students that were enrolled in the Spring but are NOT enrolled in on-campus summer session classes may access Campus Health services by paying a fee of $60* per summer session.
*This fee is not covered by insurance and does not include service charges (lab work, X-ray, etc.). It will automatically be charged to your student account once you check in for your appointment.
Summer I 2023: May 8 – June 25
Summer II 2023: June 26 – Aug 6

How to Use Your Insurance at Campus Health
It is your responsibility to provide the Insurance Department with your most current health insurance card. This is necessary for Campus Health to be able to process any charges, on your behalf, to your insurance plan as well as for any referral needs you may have. You may enter your insurance information at check-in or upload a copy of your card to your Healthy Pack Portal. For prescriptions, you will need to provide your insurance information to the pharmacy.
As a benefit to you, charges not covered by your tuition and fees package will automatically be submitted to your insurance plan, provided we have your insurance information on file. After payment is received from your insurance provider or 30 days, any remaining balance will be sent to your student account. Campus Health cannot courtesy file charges to any out-of-state or out-of-network Medicaid, Medicare, or plans from health insurance companies based outside of the United States.
You should always check with your insurance plan before receiving care.
Please contact the Student Health Insurance Office if you have any questions at: student-health-insurance@ncsu.edu or 919-515-2563
Services Provided By a Specialty Provider
Campus Health offers services provided by specialty clinics such as Gastroenterology provided by North Raleigh Gastroenterology and Dental Services provided by Campus Smiles. These clinics file consultation charges through their office which means deductibles, co-pays and co-insurances may apply even for SHIP. Please check with your insurance carrier regarding benefits prior to making an appointment.
Lab work and/or X-rays, ordered by a Specialty Provider and done here at Campus Health, will be billed through Campus Health.
Privacy
To protect your privacy, we will not post medical details on your student account. We will give you an itemized statement upon request. When you use your health insurance, the policyholder (the main person on the health insurance plan) may receive an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) from the insurance company. The EOB lists the services you received, how much the insurance paid, and the amount (if any) that you are responsible for. You can decide at each appointment whether to use your insurance for that visit. If you elect not to use your insurance, you will need to notify the nurse and/or provider at the time of your service.
