How Do I Pay For My Services?

All services will be provided at no out of pocket cost to the student. There are no student financial or insurance eligibility requirements to receive non-clinical wellness services. All students under the age of 18 are required to have parental consent prior to receiving medical and dental services, with the exception of minor consent sensitive services*.

For medical and dental clinical services we accept the following insurances:

  • Medi-Cal (including Kaiser Medi-Cal)
  • Alameda Alliance
  • Medi-Cal Blue Cross
  • HealthPac
  • No Insurance (under 18 years of age)

Students with private insurance, including private Kaiser, can be seen for sensitive services covered by FamilyPACT or Minor Consent Medi-Cal, but will be referred to their primary care provider for all other medical and dental needs.*

*California State Law permits the provision of reproductive health services to a minor 12 years of age or older with or without parental consent.
