All visits are made by appointment. The clinic is staffed by physicians, nurses, psychiatrists, and other health professionals who are specialists in the health problems of young adults. Spouses of eligible students are welcome to receive their primary care at the health service. They are charged for all services rendered. Children and other family members are not eligible.
Coverage is provided at no cost to eligible graduate students.
All other graduate students may purchase the insurance. Hospitalization Insurance Services related to hospitalization, surgical procedures and accident care, and any other health care provided outside the University Health Service, are not covered by the health fee. The University of Kentucky strongly endorses the belief that students should have health insurance, either provided by their parents' insurance company or by an independent insurance company. It is imperative that students have insurance for themselves, and for their spouse and children if they are married, because of the extremely high cost of medical care. The University, including University Hospital, assumes no responsibility for a student's medical expenses.
