What should I expect if I have Medi-Cal/Medicaid or if I am uninsured?

Students with Medi-Cal/Medicaid or students that are uninsured should contact their Dean of Students Office to enquire about the availability of funding to help cover the cost of the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP). While there is no cost to see an SHS provider if an appointment is scheduled in advance, there are charges for specific services and supplies.

Medi-Cal and Medicaid do not generally cover these services as SHS is an out-of-network provider. If you have Medi-Cal or Medicaid, it is highly recommended that you find a primary care provider within the local community. While Medi-Cal/Medicaid will not cover charges for services, you can still be seen at SHS as long as you are an enrolled student of the 5Cs. If you need medical assistance and have concerns about paying SHS fees, please contact your Dean of Students Office.
