WashU Student Health Center
The Student Health Center provides medical services, psychiatric care, and health promotion services to students. Same-day medical appointments are available for urgent needs. Your student is required to provide important documents, such as immunization records and health history. Specific requirements can be found on the Student Health Center website. In addition, your student is required by university policy to have adequate health insurance coverage. Students wishing to waive the student health insurance plan must complete a waiver annually prior to September 5. All students are welcome regardless of insurance plan.
Habif Medical Services
Medical Services provides routine, preventive health care; evaluation or treatment of illnesses and injuries; travel medicine; allergy shots; and immunizations. An on-site lab, radiology department, and pharmacy also serve students. After-hours care is available through TimelyCare. In addition, WashUPD and the student-run Emergency Support Team of licensed EMTs respond to urgent issues on campus 24/7. Psychiatry Services provides ongoing medication management for students taking medication to address their mental health concerns. It should be noted that we will not be accepting new or transferred patients who require the prescription of stimulant medications. Stimulant medications include but are not limited to Adderall, Adderall XR, Ritalin, Concerta and Focalin. If your student is already receiving stimulant medications, we encourage you to continue working with your student’s current provider. If your student is hoping to start a stimulant, we will try to assist your student in finding an external provider that accepts your insurance.
The Student Health Center is committed to providing the highest quality care to students at a reasonable cost. Information about co-pays and insurance is available on the Habif website.
Health Promotion Services
Health Promotion Services provides free resources and programs, as well as risk-reduction information related to alcohol and other drug use, mental health, and sexual health. Resources on community health and self-care are also available.
