If we are not in-network with your insurance plan, you will be responsible for any charges at our self-pay rates. Healthcare facilities are unable to file a health insurance claim to out-of-network insurance companies on behalf of patients. In this instance, you may file the claim yourself by submitting your Health Services’ billing statement to your insurance company to request reimbursement.
We are NOT in-network with CareSource, Christian Healthcare Ministries, KAISER, Medicare RR, PEACHSTATE AMBETTER, or any Out of State Medicaid Plan.

- If your insurance plan requires you to select a Primary Care Provider, you will need to select one of our providers to ensure reimbursement. We will collect all deductibles, copays, and coinsurance per the plan benefits. The balance owed will be placed on the student’s WINGS account.
- Insurance card or hard copy of your insurance card (front and back) must be presented at each visit. If no insurance information is provided, the student will be responsible to pay the self pay rate for all services resulting from that visit.
Insurance Card Submission
When a patient fails to show for their appointment without giving appropriate notice, they prevent another patient from being seen. If you arrive more than 10 minutes late for your appointment, fail to cancel at least two hours prior to your appointment, or fail to come altogether, you will be considered a “no show” and a “no show charge” of $25 will be posted to your student account. This policy applies to provider appointments scheduled with a physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, or physical therapist.
Please note that Health Services encourages patients to arrive 15 minutes prior to their appointment start time. Given our provider schedules and high demand for appointments, we may be unable to see patients that arrive more than 7 minutes late for their appointment. Only those individuals arriving more than 10 minutes late for their appointment will be assessed the “no show charge” per the above statement.
Appointments may be canceled online through Eagle OSH, by email at health@georgiasouthern.edu, via phone (912.478.0414), or in person at Health Services.
Instructions for appealing the No Show Charge are sent via email to patients with their initial notification of the missed appointment.
Payment for Services
- Payment is due at the time of service. We accept cash, check, EagleXpress, or credit card.
- Non-payment on an account will result in a hold being placed on the student’s WINGS account and will prohibit registration and readmission. The hold will be removed when the account is paid in full.
- Laboratory testing that cannot be provided in-house is provided by an outside lab who will bill each student’s insurance plan. The outside lab will bill the student for any unpaid balance based on their plan benefits. If the student is uninsured, Health Services will charge the self-pay rate for the services provided by the outside lab.
- Some students may have medical conditions that require a referral to other health care providers or specialists for consultation or treatment. All expenses related to the medical services of referred providers are the responsibility of the student.
