"One-Stop Health Service" for UNM Students
Keeping students healthy and in class is the primary goal of the UNM
Student Health Center (SHC). UNM offers convenient, comprehensive,
and quality health care to all currently enrolled students.
Services for Students: SHC offers the following services:
primary medical care, walk-in clinic, pharmacy, women's and men's
health, allergy and immunization, medical specialty clinics, physical
therapy, lab and X-ray, travel health clinic, Counseling and Therapy
Services (CATS), health education and prevention, and a student health
advisory council.
Cost: There is no charge to see a primary medical provider
for students enrolled for 6 or more hours. Students enrolled for less
than 6 hours can use the SHC for a smaller user fee. Fees are charged
for visits with specialists, physical therapy, pharmacy, some health
education programs, and for certain procedures (e.g., X-rays, lab
tests, and injections). Charges are less than (or comparable to) community
rates.
Insurance:
- Students are not required
to have health insurance to be seen at the SHC. However, SHC
recommends that all students have insurance to help defray the
costs of health care. SHC accepts most insurance plans. An optional,
supplemental health and accident insurance policy is available
to students enrolled for 6 or more hours per semester. There is
an enrolment deadline at the beginning of each semester.

Insurance) if you:
