Some students pursuing their degrees in Knoxville pay student health fees allowing them direct access to student services offered at the University of Tennessee - Knoxville (UTK). For students enrolled in one of the audiology and speech pathology programs, or the pharmacy program located in Knoxville, no additional actions are needed with respect to gaining access to student services on the UTK campus once fees are paid to the UTHSC.

For all UTHSC students in Knoxville

You may be seen by a UTK provider at no cost to you. There are, however, additional charges for immunizations, physical therapy, x-ray, laboratory tests, etc. that you are responsible for. UTK Student Health cannot file claims with your insurance carrier but will bill UTHSC directly on your behalf. UTHSC will bill you for those services, but you may submit an itemized receipt (available from UTK Student Health) for possible reimbursement from your insurance company.

For services rendered at the UT Knoxville Student Health Center, we have reached a billing agreement with UTHSC:

As a UTHSC student, you have paid a small fee within your tuition that covers almost all of your care at UT Knoxville Student Health Center. This means you may be seen by a provider at no cost to you. There are, however, additional charges for immunizations, procedures, x-ray, laboratory tests, etc. that are not covered under this student health fee. If you need a TB skin test, UTHSC University Health Services will pay this fee. There is no charge to you. UT Knoxville Student Health cannot file claims with your insurance carrier but will transfer the charge to your UTHSC banner account on your behalf. You may submit an itemized receipt/walk out statement (available from UT Knoxville Student Health) for possible reimbursement for these charges from your insurance company.

For Pharmacy, MD and PA students in Nashville, special arrangements have been made to provide access to the Vanderbilt Student Health Center for medical care and urgent behavioral health care. Most services are at no cost, but please be aware that the services at Vanderbilt may be different from UTHSC and you may be responsible for some fees related to your visits.

Students in Chattanooga may access the UTC University Health Services for medical care.  The services received there are not covered under any student health fees. All services are filed on your insurance. Students are responsible for bringing the required paperwork (from their website) and their insurance card at the time of their visit. They do file insurance for each appointment as a courtesy, but you are responsible for any fees related to your visit. Cash pay discounts are also available, but payment is expected at the time of service. If you cannot pay at the time of your visit, payment arrangements can be made. NO student is turned away for lack of payment.
