For routine sick visit care, insurance will not be billed during the 2022-2023 academic year. Services billed to insurance during the 2022-2023 academic year include annual physicals, athletic physicals, pre-operative clearance, immunizations, injections, and any care delivered by subspecialists (gynecologists). Laboratory charges, referrals to outside providers, or diagnostic imaging will require insurance billing in accordance with those locations’ needs.
