Health Insurance/Family PACT

Humboldt does not require nor sell insurance and the Student Health Center does not bill insurance. Basic office visits are free. Augmented services/supplies at our facility are charged to your student account.

It is important, however, for students to have insurance coverage for emergency and specialty care services. Paying the Humboldt Health Services fee when you pay your tuition is NOT a substitute for signing up for insurance.

Student Health Insurance/Affordable Care Act (ACA)

Many CSU students and their families may be eligible for financial assistance in purchasing health insurance. In California, the exchange for health insurance is called Covered California, an online marketplace for affordable health insurance. Individuals and families may qualify for financial assistance in paying the costs of health insurance coverage. More information about the Affordable Care Act.

Students can Apply, year round, for Medi-Cal coverage in the Oh SNAP Food Pantry. For more information about that process.

If you have insurance, services such as immunizations, physical therapy, lab work and x-rays, may be provided at no cost by your Primary Care Provider. Whenever possible, the health center recommends you see your Primary Care Provider to utilize your insurance benefits.

Please Note:

Medi-Cal services are county-specific and switching counties can take up to 30 days. Consider switching counties before you move to Humboldt.
To switch counties you can call the Eureka Department of Health and Human Services Call Center: 877-410-8809. Please note that hold times can be long
Student Health Center doctors and nurse practitioners cannot be listed as your "Primary Care Provider."
