Insurance Plans & Fees

All students enrolled at the University of Denver (other than those in completely online or certificate programs) can use the services offered at the Health & Counseling Center (HCC). The cost of these services varies based on insurance plans and payment of the Health & Counseling Fee.

Students must choose to accept the DU Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) or to waive the plan by demonstrating proof of adequate alternate coverage.

The Health & Counseling Fee (HCF) requirements vary by enrollment date and level, supporting campus prevention education and wellness programs, and providing discounts on direct HCC health services.

While it is open to all students, the HCC is not a Medicaid provider. We encourage all students to purchase the HCF in order to receive discounted services, but students will be responsible for the remaining amounts as we do not bill insurance companies or Medicaid. Students covered by Medicaid must seek an outside Medicaid provider to ensure coverage for services.
