Health Insurance Information

Student Health Services takes the FGCU student insurance plan only, which is sponsored through Academic Health Plans. Please click the following link for updated information regarding this plan: Academic Health Plans

All visits to Student Health Services, regardless of insurance coverage, are free. Some medications, labs and supplies are provided at nominal prices. Students need to bring some form of payment to each appointment to cover the possibility of a charge.

Billing Information

Check-out Information: Not all visits incur charges; however, if your provider recommends labs or medications, there will be charges that are incurred at very nominal rates. Any charge(s) incurred at Student Health Services must be paid for at the time of service in the form of credit card or Eagle ID Dollars. Bring a form of payment for your visit.

No-Show Fee: Students who incur the $25 fee can pay directly at Student Health Services. This will allow them to avoid the financial hold from Student Account Services. Students are granted 1 business week from time of charge to pay; failure to complete payment at Student Health will result in the charge being transferred to their FGCU account.

View our Student Handout Notice of Privacy Practices.

HIPAA

In 1996, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was endorsed by the US Congress as a result of the American public's concern about how patient health information was stored, accessed, disclosed and shared. The HIPAA Privacy Rule provided the first nationally-recognized and enforced set of regulations concerning the use and disclosure of what is commonly called “protected health information.”

HIPAA requires all healthcare professionals and those with access to patient data to operate within strict standards to safeguard protected health information. The US Department of Health and Human Services enforces HIPAA law and imposes penalties on institutions that do not make good-faith efforts to ensure the privacy and security of protected health information.

Student Health Services (SHS) operates in strict adherence to HIPAA laws and regulations. HIPAA requirements are incorporated into policies and procedures department-wide, and are a vital, required component of new employee and annual staff refresher training.

Included in Notice of Privacy Practices is detailed information about how patients can:

· Obtain a copy of their health information
· Request SHS amend health information in their patient records
· Receive an accounting of certain disclosures made of their health information
· Request SHS restrict the use and disclosure of their health information
· Request information regarding how SHS may contact them about medical matters
· Receive notification of how SHS may use protected health information

To read more about the Privacy Rule, including the regulatory background, who is covered by the rule, what is protected, and general principles for uses and disclosures of health information, see the OCR's Official Website. You may also want to read about HIPAA's Final Rule.
