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.
