Eligibility
Students
All currently enrolled full-time students, as well as
currently enrolled part-time students who have paid the
Comprehensive Health Fee, are eligible for assistance at Tufts
University Counseling and Mental Health Services. Specifically,
these students are eligible for an Intake appointment in which their
concerns will be discussed, along with other relevant information.
Recommendations for follow-up, treatment, and/or referral will be
made as indicated.
Fees
- Counseling sessions are provided to eligible students free
of charge.
- Psychiatry is a specialty service that is offered for a fee.
Psychiatric services are billed at rates generally lower than
those in the private sector. An initial evaluation or other type
of 50-minute visit is billed at $140, and the fee is $90 for
most medication follow-up visits (20-30 minutes). Although we do
not bill insurance directly, we will send the student an
itemized medical bill to submit to your insurance company for
reimbursement.
A Note to Staff and Faculty
Staff and Faculty are not eligible for services at the CMHS. If
you are looking for Mental Health Services, you have the following
options:
- Contact
All One Health,
the Tufts University Employee Assistance Program (EAP). This is a confidential, short term
counseling and referral service provided to employees without
charge by Tufts University. It is staffed by licensed,
professional counselors, who can assist employees and their
family members with any type of personal problem. Offices are
located throughout the U.S., and you can choose to be seen at
the location most convenient for you. The national, toll-free
number is 1-800-451-1834 (TTY users please use Relay). In case
of emergency, you can reach someone there 24 hours a day.
- Call your Primary Care Physician or your health insurance
provider for a referral to a Mental Health practitioner
