Appointment Policy

All visits to the Health Center are free of charge to registered UAlbany students.

The only costs a UAlbany student may incur from the Health Center are for:

• In-house lab tests (mono tests, rapid strep tests, pregnancy tests), $10 each
  • Lab tests sent to an outside lab are charged directly by the referring (outside) lab to the student or their insurance.
• Durable Medical Goods (crutches, splints) $2-$35 depending on equipment dispensed
• Pharmacy:
  • Co-Pays on contraceptives
  • Co-Pays on allergy medications
  • Vaccinations
  • Medication costs in the unusual event the $100/semester Cap is exceeded

All visits are by appointment and can be made by calling 518-442-5229.
In the event a patient arrives at the Health Center without having made an appointment they are offered the next available appointment based on medical necessity and appointment availability.

Patients are advised to arrive 10-15 minutes prior to their scheduled appointment in order to allow time for paperwork and the initial nurse evaluation.
When scheduling appointments, students are reminded to account for travel time whether by shuttle, bus or car. 

Patients arriving more than 5 minutes past the scheduled appointment time (15 minutes past the time they were instructed to arrive) have in essence missed that appointment.
These students are offered the next available appointment. Often they are able to be seen sooner than the appointment time provided.
