It must be kept in mind that medical insurance never covers all expenses. For instance, dental and eye glasses are rarely covered by medical insurance and need to be paid for with private funds . Students should read the policy carefully and call the Department of Benefit Services and Risks Management if they have any questions regarding the policy. A student in need of medical care should contact the WSU Health and Wellness Services located in the Pullman Memorial Hospital. Call 335-3575 for an appointment.
Urgent care is available without an appointment.
Students are charged a mandatory health fee at the time of registration which covers office visits at the Health and Wellness Services. There may, however, be a charge for supplies. The WSU Health and Wellness Services also provide special clinics for the treatment of colds and related illness, women's health care services, and wart treatment. In an emergency, students can call the Pullman Memorial Hospital at 335-2541. One's name, address, and the type of emergency should be clearly stated.
