SHIP Updates during COVID-19
Given the unique situation that continues to evolve around COVID-19, the following changes are now in place until further notice to help make using your insurance and getting care easier wherever you may be:
-
No referrals from University Health Services are needed before accessing medical and mental health care. Most providers should not require any documentation of this, but if needed, you can take this
UHS letter
with you.
-
90-day refills are now available for most prescriptions at any pharmacy.
-
For students who are now away from campus and living internationally, international coverage now includes routine care along with emergency care.
-
You can go to another UC student health center (SHC). The SHC at each University of California campus gladly offers reciprocal access to currently registered students from all other UC campuses under the same conditions that apply to its own students. If you visit an SHC at another campus, you may need to pay out of pocket and be reimbursed for any services you receive.
