FAQ
Billing
Employees—There is a $20 co-pay each time an employee or dependent is seen at the UHC. The co-pay is accepted in the form of cash, credit card, or check or can be deducted from payroll.
Students—All charges not covered by the studen's health fee will be charged to the student's account. The UHC will submit claims for students using Southern's student insurance (United Healthcare). The UHC is unable to process claims for students with private insurance, so students should plan to file their own insurance. A walk-out statement summarizing fees for services provided is available upon request.
