Incoming students and families, check our Preparing for Fall page and our 2025-26 HCC brochure (PDF), summarizing key info and action items.

2025-26 SHIP student insurance decision action (including waiver request) is now available for fall-registered students. Neither SHIP enrollment nor waiver decision is instantaneous. Waiver requests are handled in order received; our staff are reviewing hundreds of requests daily in addition to regular patient/client support. While your waiver request processes, you can pay remaining tuition and other charges via Student Billing.  Approved waivers can take 5-7 business days for credit/removal from Student Billing account.

Spring+summer term SHIP (student insurance) coverage ends 7/31/2025 for Law/semester students, and 8/31/2025 for quarter students, even if you graduated in May/June.    Questions about summer SHIP coverage or HCC service eligibility? Visit our Leaving DU page.

How Can We Help You?

• 

  Scheduling Appointments

  Most medial and mental health appointments can be scheduled same-day using the MyHealth portal. If you need help making an appointment or have other questions, call the HCC during business  hours at 303-871-2205. Remember to show up to your appointments on time! Late fees may apply.

  Contact Us

  Call 303.871.2205 during business hours, and our Front Desk staff can help with general information, billing/insurance, scheduling, and/or connect you with triage clinicians for urgent matters. You can also email hccinfo@du.edu with routine business questions.

   

  After hours, follow prompts to reach our on-call medical and mental health providers. Check our urgent/after hours care page for other community options.

  Check Test Results

  The HCC provides on-site laboratory services for a variety of tests, though some need to be sent to third-party laboratories for analysis. Results will be posted as soon as they become available. You can check on your results and other records by logging into the MyHealth portal.

• 

  Pay Your Bill

  Students are required to pay for all HCC services at the time of their visit. The HCC does not bill insurance companies or Medicaid — those with alternate coverage are responsible for seeking reimbursement from their providers. Students may also receive an invoice for services that were not billed at the visit (such as laboratory tests). Make a payment, download receipts for reimbursement, and get other information on our Payments page.
