Building a healthy foundation for The Gator Nation since 1906, the UF Student Health Care Center (SHCC) is an accredited outpatient facility staffed by licensed, board-certified health care professionals committed to helping all patients achieve maximum physical and emotional health. BILLING & INSURANCE
At the SHCC, the tuition-included University health fee covers patient financial responsibilit
y associated with most office visits — for example, when a health care provider evaluates a sick patient but does not order any tests, procedures or prescriptions. NOTE: The health fee, a UF fee paid as part of tuition, goes to many campus-wide health initiatives and does not cover all possible medical charges at the SHCC. As a service to our patients, the SHCC will forward a claim to a commercial insurance carrier if all appropriate information — including the policy number, group number and company mailing address — is provided. NOTE: While SHCC staff is available to help, it is the patient’s responsibility to know what their insurance policy covers, and the patient is ultimately liable for any charges not covered by insurance. Contact the insurance company in advance of care to learn about policy benefits in detail.
