COST:

School-Based Health Centers are funded through third-party insurance, Medicaid, grants and public funds. Providing us with insurance information allows us to bill your insurance and reduces our need for public funding so we can provide services to as many students as possible. If your insurance doesn’t pay for all or part of the cost and you are not able to pay for services you will not be denied services.
