At Student Medical Services, we promote the physical health of all SCU students by identifying and treating the most common medical illnesses and injuries. We provide a wide range of services including primary care, urgent care, minor procedures, physical exams, health education, immunizations, STI testing, nutrition services, and pharmacy services (limited in-house). For specialist medical care (including X-ray services), we help refer students to off-campus community providers when appropriate.
We do not bill insurance companies directly. Students can request itemized receipts that they may submit for potential reimbursement to their insurance companies as out of pocket claims. They can request these via phone or email. All fees will appear in the Finances section of Workday. Fees cannot be paid with HSA/FSA accounts as Santa Clara University does not accept debit or credit cards for payment on student account charges.
No-shows will result in a fee of $30 for SHS and CAPS appointments.
