 Health
Care Options
Students*
who are registered for classes at The University of Arizona
do not need health insurance in order to access health care
at the Campus Health Service (CHS). However, we strongly urge
every student to maintain adequate health insurance to cover
unexpected medical expenses.
Health
& Recreation Fee (pdf)
Fee-For-Service
(pdf)
This
option is automatic for currently enrolled University of Arizona
students. After designated office visit co-payments at the
Campus Health Service, charges are then incurred for pharmacy,
laboratory tests, x-rays, medical procedures and supplies.
The fees are generally less expensive than those charged in
the community. Payment is accepted as cash, check, credit
card (exclusively for faculty and staff) or Bursar billing
(exclusively for registered students).

Fee Schedule for academic year 2011/2012 (prices are subject
to change).
CampusCare
Supplement
This
is a prepaid health care option limited to services provided
within the Campus Health Service. It serves as an ideal supplement
for students covered by private health insurance, where one
may have a high deductible, limited benefits or no coverage for charges incurred
at the health center. This option also serves well for students
who do not have health insurance. After a designated office
visit co-payment, all laboratory tests, x-rays, medical procedures
and supplies are covered providing the diagnostic work-up
is initiated at the Campus Health Service.
Student
Health Insurance
The
University of Arizona offers one major medical health insurance
policy designed specifically for eligible University of Arizona
students and their dependents. This policy provides coverage
nationwide and has an emergency benefit worldwide. All three
State of Arizona university health centers serve as primary
care providers for the enrolled student.
*Attention
International Students: The University of Arizona
requires that all international students on non-immigrant
visas, regardless of classification or number of units, carry
the Student Health Insurance unless one qualifies for an exemption.
Exemptions must be requested each semester.
