Health Insurance and the Student Services Fee

Parents' Frequently Asked Questions
Parents, do you have questions about your students' care at Boynton? See below for answers to our most frequently asked questions.
What should my student do if they get sick while on campus?
There is no need to wait to bring them home to the family doctor — tell them to contact Boynton Health. At this time, it is best to make an appointment by calling 612-625-3222. For urgent health concerns, call our 24-hour nurse line for advice at 612-625-7900.
How does the student services fee work?
The Student Services Fee is automatically charged to students who are taking 6 or more credits on-campus in a degree-seeking program. It covers several university services, including access to Boynton Health. As a result, students paying this fee receive most services at Boynton with no out-of-pocket cost. Learn more about how the Student Services Fee works with a variety of insurance plans.
My insurance listsBoynton as an out-of-network provider. Can my student still still be seen there?
Yes! Here’s how it works: After receiving care at Boynton, we will bill your insurance for that service. Then, your insurance will reimburse at the out-of-network rate. The remaining balance, in most cases, will be picked up by the Student Services Fee and you won’t receive a bill — Boynton has you covered!
That all sounds great, but what's not included?
Generally, the student services fee does not cover items taken out of the clinic, such as eyeglasses, contacts, and medical equipment. Pharmacy, dental procedures and some vaccinations are billed to insurance, but the Student Services Fee does not cover the remainder of these particular services.
Will students be treating my student?
Our providers are accredited medical professionals who specialize in the unique needs of college students. We are not a teaching facility. Occasionally, students may be observing a visit or qualified to see patients, but this is a very unique situation.
