Health Service Fee
The Health Service Fee covers the cost of visits to Brandeis Health Center and a limited number of visits with the Psychological Counseling Center. The Health Center does not offer fee-for-service medical care. This is a mandatory fee for all undergraduate students and must be selected by graduate students for access to Health Center services. This fee is not to be confused with the cost of the Qualifying Student Health Insurance Plan (QSHIP), the university-sponsored insurance plan offered to students who do not have alternate comparable health insurance, or want to use this plan as a supplement to a primary health insurance plan.
The following costs are the responsibility of the student:
- Any charges for services not covered under your insurance policy. Contact your insurance agent before utilizing off campus services to make sure the charges will be covered by your insurance plan (QSHIP or alternate comparable plan).
- This includes laboratory charges, diagnostic imaging such as X rays, pharmaceutical costs, and service charges by off campus medical providers.
- Other off campus services that will be charged according to your insurance policy include dental care and routine eye care.
- The Health Center provides immunizations for a supply fee (paid at time of service) for all students at Brandeis. Some insurance policies will reimburse for some of these costs. The Health Center provides the necessary documentation.
