Your Health: Tufts Health Service

For routine health problems, Tufts University Health Service is available Monday-Friday from 8:30 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. The Health Service is closed between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM. All students must be accompanied by a member of our residential or administrative staff to request services. Before going to the Health Service, please stop by the administrative office in order to arrange for a staff member to accompany you.

There will be an initial health service fee (between $30.00 and $70.00) per visit, for which you can seek reimbursement from the insurance company. Students must bring all paperwork from the Health Service to our administrative office and fill out a claims form in order to request a reimbursement from the insurance company. It is important that you keep all receipts. A medical report will be completed by the residential life staff member following any incident that requires medical attention.

Students must check with the Health Service reception area to make an appointment. Most accidents and short-term illnesses will be covered by the university insurance policy, however a fee will be charged for optional treatments performed at Tufts University Health Service.

A member of the residential staff will also accompany any student requiring hospitalization.

Students will receive additional information on Health Service billing procedures during the program orientation.
