How much will it cost?                                                                                                                                                            All appointments and services received in our office are FREE (included in your tuition). Health Services also DOES NOT bill insurance directly. However, if we send a prescription to a pharmacy, order a radiology test, refer to a specialist or draw your blood and send it to an outside lab, those facilities will bill your insurance. You will be responsible for the remaining balance not covered by insurance.

If you have any concerns about your ability to pay a medical bill or services, please contact Cathy Hayes, Student Health Navigator, at chayes@bowdoin.edu for assistance.
