Costs & Insurance Billing
Winona State Health and Wellness Services provides high quality healthcare at the lowest costs locally. WSU students are automatically eligible for financial assistance, which is available upon request.
Health Services bills through insurance but health insurance is not required.
There is no payment at the time of service. Health Services will bill to your insurance carrier through our billing company, CompuMed.
After insurance has paid its portion, charges will be placed on your student account and an invoice mailed to your billing address detailing the claim and amount due.
If you are not able to pay that amount, call our Insurance Coordinator at 507.457.2297 to request financial assistance. You may also call this number with any questions about billing or insurance.
You can make payments toward your student account that can be paid online or in person at the Warrior Hub.

Good Faith Estimates
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your health care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of their bill for health care items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
If you schedule a health care service at least 3 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 1 business day after scheduling. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

Get the Best Coverage for Your Care at WSU Health Services
By ensuring your insurance offers the best coverage at our clinic, you can lower healthcare costs even more.
You can request an insurance referral from your primary care provider/clinic for Winona State University Health & Wellness Services Clinic (NPI# 1700906633). They can request several appointments for while you are away at college and these are generally good for a year at a time.
Be sure that your primary care clinic sends the request to your insurance provider. You can also backdate this request if you have previous appointments to cover.
Follow up with your insurance carrier to ensure that the referral has been processed by calling the customer service number on the back of your card. You may want to talk with them about other options as well, such as switching your primary clinic to WSU or using Point of Service care if your insurance carrier provides that.
