Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi University Health Center
Services
Located in the Sandpiper Building near University Housing, the University Health Center provides medical care by Registered Nurses (RNs), Family Nurse Practitioners (FNPs), and physicians.
We often work with students’ primary care providers at home.
Your Health Care Is Important to Us!
The University Health Center offers individualized expert care for students. Our mission is directed toward enhancing the educational process for students by:
• Treating illnesses
• Promoting optimal wellness
• Educating students to make informed decisions about health related concerns
How Much Does It Cost?
Visits are free to currently enrolled students during the semester. A student health fee is included in your tuition for unlimited visits with the RN, FNP or physician. There are nominal fees for lab tests, medications, medical supplies and physical exams. The Health Center accepts cash, checks, credit and debit cards, and SandDollar$. Payment is due at the time of service.
What Is the Immunization Requirement?
State law requires that all students receive “Important Information on Bacterial Meningitis.” Students are further required to submit proof of having received this information. Individual colleges maintain their own immunization requirements. Please refer to the college catalogue or call 361-825-2601 for details.
How Do I Use the University Health Center?
Call 361-825-2601 for an appointment. If you need to speak to a nurse, call the Ask-A-Nurse line at 361-825-5735. The nurse will return calls in the order that they are received.
For your appointment, bring your valid SandDollar$ ID to verify eligibility. Students are only eligible for the semester for which they are enrolled.
Call to cancel an appointment if you cannot make it so other students can be seen in your space. A fee will be charged for missed physician appointments.
All patients are initially evaluated by an RN for assessment and determination of the most appropriate care for their condition. Many times the RN can complete the care needed without the patient having to see one of the providers.
Do I Need Insurance?
While you do not need insurance to see us, the Health Center is not a substitute for major medical insurance.
You should have your own policy or check to see if you are covered by your parents’ insurance. If you are covered, be sure to keep an insurance card with you should you need lab tests, x-rays, or to visit another clinic or hospital. If you do not have insurance, the A&M System has a Student Health Insurance policy at special rates for students and their dependents. The Health Center has brochures on this policy or you may visit healthcenter.tamucc.edu for information.
