CSU Chico Student Health Services

Chico State’s Student Health Service is an accredited outpatient health center located on Warner and Legion Streets. The health center is staffed by physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other licensed healthcare personnel.  The mission of Student Health Service is to assist each student with their diverse healthcare needs in order to facilitate maximum academic and personal growth.

Services available for currently enrolled students include high-quality, low-cost, accessible primary care, prevention, and health education. The scope of services include physical examinations, men’s and women’s health, and treatment of acute conditions, injuries, and illnesses. Student Health has a full-service pharmacy, an x-ray department, a federally certified high-complexity laboratory, and a cutting edge health information management department. Enrolled students pay a mandatory health fee that is included in the university fees. This fee provides your student with no-cost, or low-cost access to primary healthcare.

The closest Kaiser facility to Chico is approximately 90 miles away; therefore, please make sure your student has the appropriate health insurance plan and coverage. Please contact your insurance company to verify that your health care coverage extends to Chico. Remind your student to always carry their health insurance card with them to avoid having to pay out-of-pocket.

The Student Health Center recommends all students have health insurance because the health fee is not a health insurance but instead provides access to healthcare during the designated clinic hours:  Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays 8:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m. and on Wednesdays 9:15 a.m.- 5:00 p.m.

For those students who have no health insurance, or their parent’s health insurance does not offer out-of-area coverage, the California State University endorses an outside supplemental student insurance at low cost. This supplemental student health insurance is administered by an outside company and only currently enrolled students can purchase this plan. To learn more about this plan, please go to our website.
