Billing
When students check-in for their appointments at the Health
Center, they are presented with several billing preferences prior to treatment.
Most students are billed in one of the following ways:
REGULAR BILLING
(the only method for students who wish to be reimbursed by their private health
insurance companies)
How it works:
After treatment, charges appear on the UO student account (

for paying these charges.
If a student has
private health insurance: Students should check with their insurance
company prior to their visit to verify that they will be reimbursed for
services rendered at the Health Center. Upon request, we will print an
insurance reimbursement form with specific treatment billing codes for
submission by the student to his or her private insurance company (

It is the student’s
responsibility to submit this form. The student’s insurance company
will independently process the claim per the terms and conditions of the plan.
If the insurance company approves the claim, they will send the student a reimbursement
check. In the event an insurance company sends a reimbursement check to the Health Center, the student’s UO student account will be credited.
CONFIDENTIAL BILLING
How it works:
After treatment, generic charges appear on the student’s UO student account
(

responsible for paying these charges.
The specifics of the treatment will not appear on the UO student account,
and no insurance reimbursement forms will be generated.
PAY CASH
How it works: After
treatment, the student pays cash. No
record of the visit or treatment will appear on the student’s UO student
account, and no insurance reimbursement forms will be generated.
STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE
How it works:
After treatment, we submit the student’s claim to the insurance company.
Anything not covered by the insurance company will be billed to the student’s
UO student account (

The student is responsible for paying these charges.
