Student Health Fee

The per-credit-hour student health fee, paid as part of tuition, covers costs associated with most SHCC office visits.

The health fee does not pay for any health insurance coverage, and charges are assessed for things like medications/prescriptions, vaccinations, medical equipment, X-rays, laboratory work, procedures and visits with specialists.

• Charges are assessed for medical services rendered via phone, such as advice or prescriptions, only if the call is initiated by the patient and if SHCC staff are able to render said services via phone, thereby saving the patient an in-office visit.
• The SHCC Laboratory charges a $15 handling fee for both in-house and outside tests. This fee is not covered by any insurance policy and is billed directly to the patient’s UF account.
• Patients may be charged a no-show fee if they fail to arrive before the end of a scheduled appointment or fail to cancel within 24 hours of certain types of appointments, such as minor surgery, specialist visits and women’s health.
