All Gustavus Student Health Service office visits with the Certified Mid-level Providers, laboratory tests, immunizations, and/or medical supplies will be billed to the student's medical insurance company. Any laboratory or immunization fees not paid by insurance, or upon the students request not to bill to insurance, will be charged to the student account or may be paid at the time of the office visit. These services are provided at a reasonable cost. Each student is required to carry a current insurance card to present to Health Service at the time of office visit. Visits with a nurse are at no charge to students. Questions or concerns about billing insurance or the student account may be discussed with the provider during the students visit.
All Gustavus students are expected to carry adequate health care insurance. Those students not covered by a family policy are required to enroll in the Gustavus Supplemental Insurance plan. Information is mailed to all students with the fall fee statement in July. A waiver card must be completed every year by August 31st to waive this premium. To complete the electronic waiver card, visit the student insurance program website. If a waiver card is not completed by the above due date, the premium will be added to the September bill.
It is the student's responsibility to know their medical insurance coverage. If their primary insurance plan does not cover care at the St. Peter Clinic, Daniels Clinic or the River's Edge Hospital, the Student Health Insurance Plan is recommended. Call Sara Orth (507) 933-7502 or Amy Braun (507) 933-6244 for information on purchasing student insurance.
Each student is required to carry a current insurance card to present to Health Service (or other area clinic) at the time of office visit. If you carry the College's Student Health Insurance, you should first check with the Health Service before obtaining off-campus health care (unless you need emergency or after hours care). Should you require hospitalization, you will be sent to the River's Edge Hospital, unless you and your parents make other arrangements
