A nominal charge is made for injections and dressings. If the physician orders prescription medication, the student is responsible for payment. If the student has a prescription drug card, they should be familiar with the pharmacies that honor their plan and notify Health Services at the time the prescription is being ordered. Any charges for laboratory tests ordered by the physician may be billed either to the student or the family. Health Insurance Trinity University requires all students, undergraduate and graduate, enrolled for nine or more semester hours to have current hospital and accident insurance .
Health insurance assures that in an emergency students can receive treatment quickly off-campus.
To comply with the mandatory insurance requirement, students must submit information about their health insurance to Health Services prior to their initial registration and each spring before registration for the following fall semester. An insurance information form is mailed to new students with the Health Record form. New students without proof of insurance will not be issued keys to residence hall rooms. For students with no insurance coverage, the University sponsors a plan offered by Heritage Insurance Managers. The Business Office will bill the premium charge for this policy if coverage is requested before September 15 .
