More information on scheduling an appointment.
It is always best to call and schedule an appointment for a set time to ensure you can be seen.
However, in the event you come to Campus Health requesting to be seen as a walk-in, you will be accommodated until 4 PM as long as we have the capacity.
As a walk-in patient, you may choose to wait to be seen until you can be worked in or choose to be scheduled for an appointment the following day.
Visits deemed urgent by our medical staff will be worked on as fast as possible.
New and established office visits are covered at the Campus Health Offices for students who paid the Primary Care Health Fee (PCHF) or the HSC Health Professional Fee. Office visits are also covered for students enrolled in the University sponsored Student Health Insurance Plan. Otherwise, office visits are billed according to your insurance plan. Campus Health files claims with most insurance companies, including Medicare and Tricare. Copays may be due at each appointment. Uninsured students who did not pay the PCHF will be responsible for any charges.
Campus Health Services accepts checks, money orders, VISA, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and Diners Club for payments. We DO NOT accept cash. You may make payments at either Campus Health Services location.
Based on your insurance company, you may have to pay copays or deductibles. Students who purchased the Student Insurance plan or paid the PCHF may not owe anything at checkout but could have charges billed to their insurance carrier. Uninsured students will be charged for services performed at Campus Health that are not included in the PCHF.
Campus Health accepts and files claims with most insurance companies including Medicare and Tricare. Based on your insurance plan, you may be responsible for copays or treatment charges at the time of service.

Campus Health welcomes all University of Louisville students. Claims are filed for most insurance companies including Medicare and Tricare. Uninsured students who pay the Primary Care Health Fee will have office visits and in-house labs paid but all other services will be billed to the student. The PCHF is not insurance and is only good at either of the Campus Health offices. Uninsured students, who were not charged the PCHF, may purchase it at any time by sending an email to stuins@louisville.edu.
Campus Health bills Medicare and TRICARE, but not Medicaid or Passport. If a student with Passport or Medicaid wants to use the services at CHS, you may pay for services based on our cash fee scale or you may purchase the Primary Care Health Fee (PCHF). All other charges are the student's responsibility. Students who wish to purchase the PCHF may purchase it at any time by sending an email to stuins@louisville.edu or by speaking with a staff member at the time of your visit.
