The Student Health Services Center does not submit personal health insurance claims on behalf of students or employees. Additionally, we do not bill any insurance for services rendered, thus all fees incurred are out of pocket costs and due upon services rendered. Students may obtain itemized bills from the Health Services Center upon request. Students may then submit their own health insurance claims, first to their primary health insurance and then to the student accidental insurance (if applicable). Note: the accidental health insurance policy claim must be signed by the Director of Health Services on campus before submission to the accidental insurance policy provider. Insurance reimbursements, if any, will be paid directly to the student or employee, not Student Health Services. If clinic charges were billed to the student account, then payment must be made directly to Student Accounts via the business office to avoid the placement of a hold. Parents/guardians of students 18 or older, may not request bills or statements. Please have your student contact us and we will assist them directly.
Health Records are kept in strictest confidence. No medical information will be released without written approval from the student.
The University does not offer medical health insurance. However, mandatory accidental insurance coverage is provided only during the semester months, for on campus accidents and/or at UVI sponsored events. The accidental insurance fee is included in the student’s tuition & fees breakdown.
Only full-time students have accidental insurance coverage during an active semester. Part-time and graduate students are not covered under the University’s mandatory accidental insurance plan.
Students who experience an injury on campus or at a university sponsored event are encouraged to visit Health Services promptly for evaluation. We will not sign off on accidental insurance claims for injuries that are seen beyond 48 hours (about 2 days) of the reported injury date.
The Benefits provided by the Policy are expressly limited to only those specifically selected by the Policyholder in the application and/or enumerated in the Schedule of Benefits. This Policy is renewable, subject to the consent of the Company, for any specified term upon the Anniversary Date of any subsequent renewal date by the advance payment of the premium for the term, at the rates established by the Company.
If you have questions about your coverage status (student or athlete), contact the Health Services Center on your respective campus for confirmation.
All students on special diets must submit diets in writing to health services within two weeks of the semester. After that time no changes will be made except those authorized by a physician. We will make every effort to accommodate your diet request with help from the cafeteria staff.
All students who live in the residence halls MUST be on a meal plan. According to the UVI Policy, “all students residing on campus housing are required to select a meal plan option for each semester.”
Health Services will no longer approve on-campus students’ meal exemptions. Every effort will be made to collaborate with the UVI cafeteria management to meet all diet needs of on-campus students. Only in rare circumstances will meal exemptions be approved.
However, any student who deemed it necessary to be exempt from the meal plan should submit, to health services, the following documents:
All documents will be reviewed by the campus nurse, who will make recommendations and a final decision will be rendered by the Dean of Students in two weeks.
If you have questions, please contact Health Services at 340-693-1124 or janet.pointer@uvi.edu with meal exemption as the subject.
All illnesses must be verified before an excuse is issued. If the student is treated by their private physician, it is the responsibility of the student's private physician to issue that excuse. The student may have the record of the injuries/illness sent to health services and an excuse will be issued.
Under special circumstances, students are allowed to take meals back to their rooms from the cafeteria. Approval must be obtained from the campus nurse. Please contact Health Services for more information.
