How to Receive Care at Our Clinic
Access to our clinic’s psychiatric medical care and counseling services is available through a referral process and will require medical insurance verification. Most students are referred to our clinic by their care team at USC Student Health, as well as other organizations on campus. The following insurance information is important to know.
USC Student Health Insurance Plan (Provided Through Aetna)
An initial evaluation and referral by USC Student Health is required. A $10 or 10% co-pay or co-insurance may be required, depending on the service. For more insurance information, click here.
Insurance Other Than USC Student Health Insurance Plan
You can self-refer to our clinic or obtain a referral from USC Student Health. The cost of care will vary, depending on each health insurance plan.
Medi-Cal
Currently, recipients of Medi-Cal are not covered for care; however, USC Student Health can connect students with Medi-Cal providers. Students with Medi-Cal can also receive care through USC Student Health’s counseling and mental health program.
