Students interested in Psychological Evaluation or will be seeking Psychiatric Medication Management services upon arrival to campus, should meet with a UHS Nurse Practitioner or UCS psychotherapist to obtain a referral. Students without a referral will be scheduled to see one of the Nurse Practitioners or referred to Counseling Services. Telehealth options are also available!

Insurance Navigation
Uninsured and worried about accessing healthcare? About to be dropped from your parent’s insurance plan and not sure where to go? Thinking about making a switch to a more comprehensive insurance plan? We got you! University Health Services can connect incoming students with a variety of options available to them and check one more thing off that pesky to-do list. Contact our office to speak to a member of our staff or see the links below to get started.
University Health Services does not discriminate based on insurance status. If you are uninsured, you have options. Contact our office for details.
We accept and bill all insurance based upon information presented at the time of appointment. Possession of insurance does not guarantee coverage. It is the patient’s responsibility to verify their plan and coverage prior to booking an appointment. Payment is not accepted at the time of appointment. Our third-party billing agent will send a bill directly to the patient after insurance is billed.
Medical Records
Before moving to campus, students should consider gathering their medical records from their provider(s) and submit them to University Health Services (UHS). This is to ensure a smooth coordination of care while attending the University should a student need to access UHS. Students can also use our online Medical Records service to communicate with their UHS provider directly, fill out required forms, upload insurance cards, and access portions of their medical records.
Athletic PPE Requirements
Current and prospective athletes are required to complete yearly paperwork, upload valid insurance information, and provide additional documentation prior to their participation in athletics at the University of Southern Maine. Prospective athletes will need to be tested for sickle cell anemia prior to their athletic physical or upload results before attending their physical. Click below for further instructions.
