If an insured pays cash for any medical services, you will need to provide the Health Insurance Office with receipts.

The insured dependent must pay cash for all prescriptions. Outside pharmacies CANNOT bill the student health insurance for your prescriptions. You will need to provide the Health Insurance Office with the receipts from the pharmacy in order to be reimbursed.

 

All charges incurred with a medical provider are owed to that provider. It is the

responsibility of the insured to make arrangement to pay the deductible and copayment to the medical provider who provided the medical care.
