| We asked students, staff, and faculty how
we could better serve the University community and we heard you
loud and clear! You want faster, more convenient, more affordable
options for health care on campus. Boynton's response
– Gopher Quick Clinic. |
| Students, staff, and faculty with certain
minor illnesses now have the option of coming to Gopher Quick Clinic
to see a certified practitioner trained to diagnose, treat, and
write prescriptions. No appointment is necessary. Visits last
approximately 10 minutes. |
| Gopher Quick Clinic services are
available at no out-of-pocket cost for most students after the bill has
been processed by their insurance carrier* and just a $5 co-pay
for staff and faculty enrolled in any UPlan medical plan option**–even
if Boynton is not their designated primary care clinic. |
