Student Health Fee

Frequently asked questions 

• What payment methods are accepted?

  You may pay by:

  • Cash
  • Credit card
  • Debit card
  • Check
  • Transfer to your university account (One Card)

  Most services are covered at 100% with no co-pay if you are currently enrolled in the school-sponsored insurance plan. These services are a list of the most frequently used services. For additional services, please call the Student Health Center departments directly.

• Does everyone pay the health fee? Who is exempt?

  The health fee is a mandatory fee charged to degree-seeking students as part of their tuition each semester. This includes Global First Year (G1Y) and Transient students.
  
  For students on tuition waivers, please refer to the OneStop tuition waiver to learn more about payment and eligibility requirements.

• How much is the health fee?

  The health fee is currently $93.69 per semester.

• What if students do not have any insurance?

  FIU is committed to keeping all students healthy whether they have insurance or not. Students who pay the health fee have access to the Student Health Clinics, medical providers, the Healthy Living Program, and all other programs and services covered by the health fee. For these students, the health fee will continue to subsidize the cost of office visits, routine medical exams for illness or injury, medical consultations, family planning consultations, health education, screening for high blood pressure and other conditions, thereby lowering or eliminating the direct cost to students. Any services (such as laboratory testing, medications, vaccines) performed outside of these are available at nominal fees.

• Which services will be covered 100% by the health fee, for students without insurance?

  For students who do not have insurance, the health fee offsets the cost of office visits, routine medical exams for illness or injury, medical consultations, family planning consultations, health education, screening for high blood pressure, and other conditions at the clinics.

• Which services will not be covered by the health fee, for students without insurance?

  Services not covered by the health fee include vaccines, lab tests (such as testing for strep, blood counts, mono, pregnancy, cholesterol, and urinalysis), pap smears, STD testing, EKGs, TB screenings, medications (prescription, injection, and over-the-counter), immunizations (such as measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis, and HPV) and other diagnostic testing and sub-specialty office visits.
