Welcome new students! Boynton Health has been taking care of the University of Minnesota community for more than 100 years. Let us take care of you too.
Taking Care of U in These Challenging Times
The COVID-19 pandemic has temporarily changed how we see patients, but rest assured we are here to take care of you.
We are starting to offer in-person appointments again, but currently most appointments are taking place online. If it is determined during your telehealth appointment that you need to be seen in person, we will direct you to the appropriate care.
At this time, to make an appointment call 612-625-3222.
If your healthcare concern is urgent, call our 24/7 nurse line for guidance, 612-625-7900.

Most students who pay the student services fee receive care at Boynton at little to no cost after we bill their health insurance.

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.
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!
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.
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.
