Building a healthy foundation for The Gator Nation since 1906, the UF Student Health Care Center (SHCC) is an accredited outpatient facility staffed by licensed, board-certified health care professionals committed to helping all patients achieve maximum physical and emotional health. BILLING & INSURANCE

At the SHCC, the tuition-included University health fee covers patient financial responsibility associated with most office visits — for example, when a health care provider evaluates a sick patient but does not order any tests, procedures or prescriptions. NOTE: The health fee, a UF fee paid as part of tuition, goes to many campus-wide health initiatives and does not cover all possible medical charges at the SHCC. As a service to our patients, the SHCC will forward a claim to a commercial insurance carrier if all appropriate information — including the policy number, group number and company mailing address — is provided. NOTE: While SHCC staff is available to help, it is the patient’s responsibility to know what their insurance policy covers, and the patient is ultimately liable for any charges not covered by insurance. Contact the insurance company in advance of care to learn about policy benefits in detail. For current information and deadlines related to the Mandatory Health Insurance requirement for all students beginning at UF Summer 2014 or later, please visit http://studentinsurance.shcc.ufl.edu. Visit the "Fees & Insurance" area of the SHCC website for more detailed information about health insurance options: www.shcc.ufl.edu/fees-and-insurance.

Flu season is still on the playlist, Gators. 🎤 So, here’s our wellness discography, on repeat all semester long. 📀

Think of getting real sleep 😴, sipping water all day 💧 and fueling up with nourishing meals 🥗 as some of your greatest hits.

There's nothing more TPWK then helping prevent the spread of flu. 💅

Take care of yourself all the time, disco occasionally 🕺

Waiting in the queue for tickets. Screaming every lyric. Living your best life under the lights. We love the energy. But flu season is on tour too, Gators. 😷

Prioritize your health and well-being all the time, disco occasionally. Even Harry would want you hydrated! 🕺🏻

Before flu season puts you off the setlist, take care of the basics:
😴 Get good quality sleep like you’re prepping for a long night in the pit
💧 Drink water so your immune system can hit the high notes
🏠 If you’re sick, skip the crowds and rest up before your comeback

You do not have to power through feeling awful. Missing one outing now can help you avoid missing a whole week later.

Take care of yourself. Look out for your friends. Let’s keep flu season from stealing the spotlight.

✅Health all the time, disco occasionally. 🐊

Step 2: Click the “Insurance” tab in the menu (look for the umbrella icon ☂️).
