Costs
Provider visits are filed to your health insurance. All charges not covered by insurance are the responsibility of you and your parents. In order to process claims, students must have their own insurance card. Check with your insurance carrier regarding coverage at the college health center.

If you are not covered by your parents’ insurance policy, the college strongly recommends that you participate in the group plan offered to Concordia students.
