Insurance and Billing

Payment and Insurance Billing

Payment for services not covered by the University health fee is expected at the time of service. 

Cash, personal check, HSA, TigerStripe, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express or Apple Pay are accepted. Outstanding balances can be paid online through CU Marketplace (amount owed can be found in MyHealth-e under 'Account Summary').

Students who want parents/guardians to have access to billing information should complete the Authorization for Release of Information form.

  • Pharmacy Insurance

    We file as an in-network provider for most pharmacy insurance plans. Please use our online form to enter your pharmacy insurance card information. You may also complete the Pharmacy Prescription Card Information Form and fax or drop it off at the pharmacy in Redfern Health Center. Unpaid balances will be transferred to the student's University tuition and fees bill at the end of each semester.

    We only file Medicaid and Medicare for pharmacy. Please notify pharmacy staff if your Medicaid plan only covers family planning.

  • Medical Insurance

    We courtesy file for medical services as an out-of-network provider for most commercial medical insurance plansInsurance cards can be uploaded to MyHealth-e. You are responsible for knowing what your plan covers.

    Medicaid and Medicare

    We are not a Medicaid or Medicare provider and cannot submit medical claims for reimbursement (we only file Medicaid and Medicare for pharmacy; please notify pharmacy staff if your Medicaid plan only covers family planning). If you need assistance with finding a local Medicaid/Medicare provider, call the Insurance and Billing Office: 864-656-3561.

    Charges Not Paid by Insurance

    Patients are responsible for any charges not paid by their insurance plan. You will be notified of your balance after insurance has processed either by a bill in the mail or secure message in MyHealth-e. You may view the patient balance on the MyHealth-e portal by clicking on 'Account Summary'. From the 'Account Summary' page, there is a link to pay via CU Marketplace.

    Right to Request Insurance Not Be Filed

    Any patient has the right to request a certain visit be excluded from filing. To do so, just tell a Student Health Services staff member that you do not want insurance filed for that day. You will then need to visit the Insurance and Billing Office (located in rooms G-22 and G-23 in the basement of Redfern) to complete the request and make sure the claim does not get filed.

  • University-sponsored Student Health Insurance Plan
    Clemson University offers a comprehensive Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP), administered by BlueCross BlueShield (BCBS) of South Carolina. The SHIP is available to eligible students, legal spouses and dependents of students at competitive premiums.
