Services Offered

• Eligibility Payments: Registered students pay a Medical Service Fee each semester, which entitles them to a wide variety of Health Services. With a validated UTRGV ID, they are entitled to office visits to see a health care provider as many times per semester as they need with no office visit charge. There are charges for many services and procedures to diagnose and treat illnesses and injuries, such as for laboratory and pharmacy services, but these charges are much lower than those for comparable services provided elsewhere. These charges are posted to your Student Account and can be paid through ASSIST.
• General Medicine: Students with common medical problems are diagnosed and treated on a limited walk-in basis; however, appointments are preferred and necessary for students requesting elective procedures. Referrals to outside providers are made when necessary.
• Physical Exams: UTRGV students requiring a physical exam prior to admittance to a school program can have a physical exam done at Health Services for a nominal fee. Call Health Services to schedule an appointment.
• Pharmacy: A fully licensed Class D pharmacy is conveniently available on the UTRGV Edinburg campus. The pharmacy carries both prescription and over-the-counter medications. The costs of medications are greatly reduced compared to retail prices.
• Laboratory: A full-service, economical lab is equipped to do routine procedures as well as specimen collections for more sophisticated procedures that must be sent to a reference lab for testing.
• Women Wellness Clinics: These services include Pap smears, family planning education and counseling, treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy testing and other women’s health issues.
• HIV Testing: Free confidential HIV testing and counseling is available weekly. Call for scheduled days.
• Other Services: Health education resources, nutritional counseling, vision screenings, and weight and blood pressure screenings are also available.
