Private Health Insurance

If you are wondering how your insurance company will pay for charges incurred at the University Health Center, it is best to contact your insurance company to determine what level of benefits will be available to you at the Health Center and in the Eugene area. Your insurance company will be able to tell you how your specific plan works.

Some insurance plans will reimburse you for part or all of the cost of a medical care and services at the University Health Center. Other insurance plans state you must see a certain doctor or use a certain pharmacy in order to get the best reimbursement rate.

If your policy is through an HMO, Preferred Provider plan or managed care plan, your benefits may be reduced if you receive care from practitioners or facilities that are not ‘in-network’ or preferred providers for your plan.

The University Health Center will accept payment from any insurance company but is not contracted to be a “Preferred Provider” for any insurance plans.

If you find that your current coverage will work for you, that's great. Be sure to bring your insurance card with you and make sure you know how to bill your insurance company for any medical expenses you might have while you are in Eugene. University Health Center charges are billed to your student account.
