Billing and insurance

In cooperation with Arizona Board of Regents and ASU Health Services, ASU offers an affordable top-tiered medical insurance policy to students. This insurance provides access to the health and counseling services at any ASU Health Service location. Read more under Student Health Coverage Options.

We provide care for all students, no matter how you choose to pay for services. The amount of money that ASU charges for services is based upon the type and complexity of the service and procedure we provide. The more complex care or procedure the higher the charge. Just as if one goes to the automobile repair shop, costs vary depending on what is wrong with the vehicle and how complex or costly the item is to repair. We accept the AZ Board of Regents student insurance through United Healthcare Student Resources, some private health insurance, or we can charge your ASU account. You can pay after your visit or bill to your ASU account. Quoted prices are subject to verification or change without notice.

When seeking treatment at ASU Health Services always bring your ASU ID and your insurance card, if applicable.

After the clinician completes your visit they will determine the complexity of the visit, any procedures administered, and the charges will be submitted into the ASU Health Services system. The amount is then charged to your student account. If you do not have insurance, please speak to a member of the insurance team for information on self-pay rates.

No show fees range from $40 for most visits to $50 for specialist visits.

ASU Health Services is contracted with several major insurance companies. See Health Coverage Options page for list of contracted insurance. We also bill many non-contract insurance.

Let's say, for example, you twist your ankle running to class and you come to ASU Health Services for treatment. You provide your insurance card and ASU ID to registration staff. Usually there will be a co-pay amount required by your insurance company that can be charged directly to your ASU student account. After registering, the ASU Health Services provider would examine you, decide on what tests or treatment you need like ordering an x-ray of your ankle and applying a splint bandage and giving you crutches.

ASU Health Services submits your charges and information to your insurance company. Your insurance company then processes the ASU Health Services claim for payment according to your plan benefits and sends the payment. Your insurance company will also send you a notice (by mail or electronically) that the claim has been processed. This notice is called an Explanation of Benefits or EOB.

ASU Health Services may arrange to bill your insurance plan for you but, if you have out-of-network benefits, your benefit may be reduced or the insurance plan may not pay at all. In these cases ASU Health Services will bill these charges to your ASU student account. To avoid this, if you do not see your insurance company on our contracted list, or if you are unsure, contact your insurance company and ask if your plan covers services rendered at ASU Health Services. If not, you may want to consider purchasing the Bridge Service Plan through ASU.
