Medical Insurance

The Wilce Student Health Center is contracted with most major commercial insurance plans.  We recommend that you contact your insurance provider to verify if the health center and the pharmacy are in-network.  Follow these steps to verify coverage with your insurance provider.

  • Call your insurance provider to verify that OSU Student Health Services is a contracted provider with your insurance plan.
  • Provide them with the following information:

                 OSU Student Health Services

                 Tax ID #: 31-6025986

                 Facility NPI #: 1942274410

                 Pharmacy NPI #: 1952347445

  • Upload both your medical and RX insurance cards to My BuckMD

                   Log In at go.osu.edu/MyBuckMD

                    Click on “Document Uploads”

  • Patients should bring their insurance card to each visit (physical card or image of the front and back of the card)
  • If the Student Health Benefits Plan was purchased or Wilce Care suppliment was purchased, no card is needed

Currently, Student Life Student Health Services (SLSHS) is contracted with:

  • Ohio State Comprehensive Student Health Insurance Benefits Plan
  • Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield
  • Aetna
  • CareSource Medicaid of Ohio
  • Cigna
  • Medical Mutual of Ohio
  • OSU Health Plan
  • United Healthcare (UHC)

Even if insured by one of the above carriers, SLSHS may be considered out-of-network, as there are many plans within a carrier. SLSHS is out-of-network for all HMO plans. Please contact the insurance company for more information.

SLSHS is out-of-network for all other insurance carriers, all HMO plans, Medicare, and Medicaid, except for CareSource Medicaid of Ohio. Contact your insurance company to review available out-of-network benefits.

Providing tax ID number, 31-6025986, will help identify SLSHS from other physician groups and medical facilities associated with The Ohio State University. This information will assist in providing correct benefit information.

If an insurance payment is not received within 60 days from the date of service, the amount due becomes the patient's responsibility. Additionally, any unpaid charges are ultimately the responsibility of the patient.
