Access to health care can be challenging for busy college students for various reasons: they are juggling classes and a work schedule, they are unable to find a provider in the area to be seen promptly, they are unable to afford the cost of the office visit fee required by their insurance, or they do not have transportation. In addition many insurance plans from other states and countries may not provide coverage in South Florida. This has resulted in unnecessary delays in treatment and in many cases high out of pocket expenses.
Your Barry Student Health Services provides quality primary care services ranging from immunizations and pre-matriculation physicals to gynecological care, to all full time undergraduate and graduate students who have been billed for the Student Health Access Plan. The Student Health Access Plan Fee is automatically billed to every undergraduate student and graduate students living in campus housing. Graduate students choosing to use SHS for their primary care needs may enroll on a voluntary basis. This fee covers the cost of most health care services provided at Student Health Services.
