Payment Options
All charges are your responsibility. You must pay at the time of service by either having the charge billed to your Penn State student account or paying by check, cash, VISA or MasterCard (debit or credit). UHS offers these payment options to help minimize the financial burden to students and parents.
Please note: If you have scheduled an appointment at UHS and do not cancel it prior to one hour before the appointment, you will incur a "No Show Charge".
If you decide to have the charges posted to your student account, the Bursar's Office will mail out statements to your permanent address until the bill is paid. This statement includes the date the bill was posted to your account, the words "Health Center," and the amount of the charge. Charges posted to the student account must be paid at the Bursar's Office, 103 Shields Building, University Park, PA 16802.

Frequently Asked Billing Questions | Routine Fees and Charges
Penn State Health Insurance Plans
UHS is a primary care provider with the Penn State Student Health Insurance Plans. If you are enrolled in either of these plans and you are seen by a UHS clinician, your bill can be obtained through myUHS 48 hours after your visit. It is recommended that you print a copy of your bill for your records. Bills remain online for one academic year.
Other Health Insurers
If you are covered by a health insurer other than one of the Penn State student plans, it is your responsibility to submit your claims to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Health insurance is strongly recommended for all students. If your current insurance policy does not cover care at UHS, you should consider purchasing student health insurance through Penn State. Penn State requires international students, their accompanying spouses and/or children to demonstrate that they have health insurance coverage.
Prescription Charges
If you have either of the Penn State Student Health Insurance policies, please drop off your prescription receipt at the Checkout Desk at UHS. UHS will post the UHS Pharmacy charges to your student account (non-student account for spouses) and submit the claims directly to the insurance company for processing. For prescriptions outside of the UHS pharmacy, you are responsible for submitting the pharmacy receipts on your own to the Penn State Student Health Insurance provider. If you need assistance with this process, please contact the Student Insurance Office at studentinsuranceATsa.psu.edu or 865.7467.
Pharmacy Insurance Contracts
The UHS pharmacy does have contracts with some health insurance providers. If your current health insurance plan has a contract with UHS, our Pharmacy may be able to direct bill your insurance provider. [more information]
