GCU students who are registered for classes at GCU do not need health insurance to access health care at Canyon Health and Wellness Clinic. However, we strongly urge every student to maintain adequate health insurance to cover unexpected medical expenses.

Consider purchasing our Student Health Plan offered by United Healthcare if your health insurance plan has:

• A high deductible
• No out-of-network benefits
• Emergency only coverage
• Limited benefits for specialty visits such as counseling, physical therapy or nutrition counseling

The options for payment of services include the following:

Fee for service: If you do not have insurance or the student health center is not contracted with your insurance carrier, you will be charged a $50.00 visit fee. There could be additional charges for lab tests, X-Rays, medical procedures, supplies or medication.

Student Health Insurance plan (UHCSR): Canyon Health and Wellness will file claims with the Student Health Insurance carrier, which processes the claim for payment according to your plan benefits. Patient will be charged their office visit copay at time of service. For more information on this optional plan see: https://www.uhcsr.com/GCU

If Canyon Health and Wellness Clinic is a Participating Provider with your commercial plan, we will file claims with your insurance carrier, which processes the claim for payment according to your plan benefits. The patient will be charged their office visit copay at time of service. You will receive a billing statement via mail for any charges that your insurance carrier does not pay.
