UHS accepts most insurances. It is the student/parent’s responsibility to check with their insurance company to verify coverage. Since UHS serves only enrolled students of the University of Cincinnati, you will not find UHS listed on any “how to find a provider” insurance web site. UHS will be listed as University of Cincinnati Physicians Company. If your insurance plan pays to University of Cincinnati Physicians Company and you are the subscriber for your student’s plan, then you can be seen using your insurance coverage at UHS. Please verify with your insurance plan what your copay, deductible, coinsurance or out of network benefits will be.

The UC immunization requirement is consistent with those vaccines already required by the State of Ohio for Grades K-12 students.
UC’s non-Health science students may apply for a vaccine exemption if their provider determines that an immunization would be detrimental to their health. A note from a medical provider is required to apply. Non-Medical exemptions require a Notary Public to notarize. Detailed instructions are available on the secure Bearcats Health App portal.
