If you just want to ask medical questions, call 541-737-9355.
Are the services free for students?
Many services are free or at reasonable cost to OSU students because of the OSU Student Health Insurance. For more information about student health insurance, please go to this page. If you need any assistance, please contact the Senior Coordinator for Care and Conduct.
Off-campus medical care
For students who have OSU Student Health Insurance (Pacific Source): If you are looking for a special type of doctor, or would like to see a doctor off campus, OSU Student Health can refer you.
For students who have your own health insurance from other provider: Go to your health insurance company's website. Search a list of local doctors, choose one, and call for an appointment. If you go see a doctor who is not on the list, it will cost you more money.
Urgent or Emergency Medical Care
If you have an urgent medical problem and OSU Student Health is closed, you have several options but these types of medical services cost much more. You should only use these services in serious situations. You do not need an appointment. Bring your insurance card and any identification card (i.e. passport, driver's license) with you.
