Insurance information
All students are eligible to use the Health Center. Most insurance carriers will cover services at the health center but we encourage you to call your specific carrier to make sure the health center is in network. When you call your insurance company ask if "Campus Clinics" is in network. We recommend you call your carrier prior to seeking care. For further assistance with your insurance questions, call the health center at 970-351-2412.
"Bear Care Plan"
For students who have out of state or out of network coverage, the health center offers a Bear Care Plan for $199 that provides 4 simple visits to the health center at no additional cost.
Simple visits include, but are not limited to:
- X-Rays
- cold and flu checks
- rapid mono and strep testing
- minor injuries
- sick and well care visits
Bear Care Plans can be purchased when needed and as often as needed.
Please note that lab work sent to an outside lab is not covered by the Bear Care Plan. If it is recommended that the student have lab work, the testing will be sent to a lab that is in network with the students insurance and benefits will be paid according to the student's plan.
