Insurance

Using Insurance at the Medical Clinic

Medical Clinic has established contracts with many major health insurance plans. Students with these insurance plans can have their charges billed directly by presenting a valid insurance card with policy information.

If you do not have insurance or have a plan we are unable to bill directly, you are responsible for charges. After you have paid for your charges at the Medical Clinic, you may be able to submit the charges to your insurance company for reimbursement. Contact us if you have questions.

Please bring your insurance card to every visit.

Canceling an Appointment

The Medical Clinic charges a $15 missed-appointment fee to patients who miss more than two appointments. If circumstances prevent you from keeping an appointment, a phone call to cancel can help you avoid incurring the fee. Health insurance companies do not pay this fee.

Paying Your Bill

Bills are sent via secure message in the patient portal at myhealthservices.stcloudstate.edu. You will receive an email in your St. Cloud State account stating you have a secure message. Full payment of your bill is due 30 days after you receive this email.

Options for paying your bill at the Medical Clinic:

You may come in to the Medical Clinic to pay at the check-out desk, mail a check, or call with credit card information. We would be happy to print an itemized receipt upon request.
You may call our cashier and request that your bill be sent to the business office to be added to your other university charges. (A hold may be placed on registration until the bill is paid.) This request will need to be made each time you receive a message.
You may call the cashier to request a paper bill be mailed to you at whatever address you provide. This request will need to be made each time you receive an email.
Acceptable payment methods: cash, checks, and credit cards (Mastercard, Visa, Discover and American Express).

If you do not pay your bill or make payment arrangements before it is due, the St. Cloud State Business Office will be notified and you will be charged a $20 late fee. The bill will be added to your University account and you will not be allowed to register for future classes, or receive a transcript or grades until your bill has been paid.

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) regulations do not permit the Medical Clinic to send or email bills to anyone other than the student.
