4 Ways to Access Care

Students, staff, faculty, alumni, and dependents are eligible to use Boynton's services. Students who pay the Student Services Fee and have health insurance from any insurance carrier receive most services at Boynton Health Service at no out-of-pocket cost or at reduced cost after the bill has been processed by their insurance carrier.

The Mental Health Clinic at Boynton Health Service is limited to degree seeking students who have some form of health insurance and are currently paying the mandatory Student Services Fee.
