About Student Health Services

Any Oxford or regional campus Miami student who is registered for at least one class. You do not need to purchase the student health insurance plan to be seen at SHS.

SHS does operate by appointment. The best way to schedule an appointment with SHS is to call the clinic at 513-529-3000, option 1.

You will need to bring a legal photo ID, which would include a valid driver’s license, passport, or state issued photo ID. We can only accept a Miami ID if it includes your full given name at birth as well as your date of birth.

You will also need to bring a physical current medical insurance card OR a printed photo of the front and back of your current medical insurance card. A physical copy is needed to scan into the TriHealth medical record to verify eligibility for service and ensure proper billing.

You can park in the South Parking Garage (501 S. Campus Avenue). There are five reserved spots for Health Services patients on the first floor near the exit, but you can park in any spot in the garage. Bring your ticket with you at the time of your appointment for validation to exit the garage for no fee.

Yes. The student health insurance will cover routine charges for services at SHS-the standard medical care provided for illness or injury after the deductible is met. There is some coverage for wellness services.

More information about the student health insurance coverage is provided at StudentCenter.uhcsr.com/MiamiOH. You can also email MUInsuranceAdvocate@UHCSR.com. 

Maybe. If you do not use the UHCSR student health insurance, you should call your insurance company to verify that TriHealth at Miami University is a covered provider.

No. The care provided for eligible students is the same regardless of their insurance coverage.

If you are over 18 years, we must have your written permission to release any of your medical records, including billing statements.

If the situation is serious and you are in the company of the clinician, you can give verbal permission for your parents to be contacted. Otherwise, the visits are part of your medical record and remain confidential. The same applies to conversations with the clinician about your treatment-your permission is required for such information to be released.

Coverage for visits to Student Health Services under the UnitedHealthcare Student Resources (UHCSR) student health insurance plan depends on your specific policy and provider network. Review your plan’s Summary of Benefits or contact UHCSR directly to confirm which services are covered.

To receive a doctor’s note, you must be seen at Student Health Services. Request the note during your visit. Staff will give it to you before you leave. The note confirms that you were seen in the clinic for care. It does not include diagnosis details or serve as an excuse for missing class.
