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.
