UHS accepts most insurances. It is the student/parent’s responsibility to check with their insurance company to verify coverage. Since UHS serves only enrolled students of the University of Cincinnati, you will not find UHS listed on any “how to find a provider” insurance web site. UHS will be listed as University of Cincinnati Physicians Company. If your insurance plan pays to University of Cincinnati Physicians Company and you are the subscriber for your student’s plan, then you can be seen using your insurance coverage at UHS. Please verify with your insurance plan what your copay, deductible, coinsurance or out of network benefits will be.

All students except those in a designated "Distance Learning" program are required to submit immunization documentation. However, ALL Health Sciences students must meet the immunization requirements, even if in a Distance Learning program.
Yes, all incoming international students are subject to immunization and health screening requirements.
Yes, you will be required to have the same vaccinations as all new students.
All incoming UC Blue Ash and UC Clermont students must comply with this policy and will be required to submit immunization records to the Bearcats Health App.
University health officials review national guidelines from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American College Health Association and consult with medical and public health experts. The UC immunization requirement is consistent with those vaccines already required by the State of Ohio for Grades K-12 students.
UC’s non-Health science students may apply for a vaccine exemption if their provider determines that an immunization would be detrimental to their health. A note from a medical provider is required to apply. Non-Medical exemptions require a Notary Public to notarize. Detailed instructions are available on the secure Bearcats Health App portal.
Yes, the vaccines and tuberculosis testing are available at UHS.
Since these vaccinations are considered preventive care, all should be covered by your health insurance plan if it is Affordable Care Act (ACA) compliant. The UC Student Health Insurance Plan covers these vaccinations. Please contact your private health insurance plan for questions regarding your benefits and coverage.
No, all non-health science students have the same Immunization requirements. However, an institution of higher education shall not permit a student to reside in on-campus housing unless the student (or the student’s parent if the student is younger than 18 years of age) discloses whether the student has been vaccinated against meningococcal disease and hepatitis B by submitting a meningitis and hepatitis B vaccination status statement.
