Referral to a medical specialist

If your condition requires referral to a specialist, the Student Health Clinic health care providers will assist you with making those arrangements.  Referral services are provided, if indicated, to most area hospitals and medical specialists.  Students are responsible for:

  • Contacting their insurance to see if the medical specialist or health facility is participating with their health insurance company.
  • Bringing copies of their health insurance cards to their appointment as well as personal identification (such as, UNI ID or driver’s license).

Fees charged by a specialist are independent of the Student Health Clinic.  If you have specific questions related to the cost of the visit, you should check with your health insurance company.
