Billing Information at Husky Health
Bill in the Mail?
Husky Health bills health insurance for most services. You may receive a bill in the mail associated with your care. When you come to Husky Health for care, there are different entities within our building that may bill for services.
If you receive a letter that says “Explanation of Benefits” from your insurance company, it is not a bill. If you do have an out-of-pocket cost, you will receive a bill from UW Physicians, the entity that manages billing for provider time, the UW Department of Laboratory Medicine, for lab services, or Husky Health Center. Often, a bill will arrive 2-4 weeks after an explanation of benefits letter.
You may receive an explanation of benefits but not ultimately be billed if you are a current student and you received subsidized services. Read more about subsidized services.
This page will help you get connected to billing specialists if you have questions about your bill or would like to make a payment.

Confidentiality, Insurance, and Deposits
If you previously allowed us to bill your insurance, and now ask us to not bill it due to confidentiality concerns, we will ask you for a $200 deposit at check-in. You will be reimbursed if the cost of your care is less than $200.
This may happen if a student is concerned about their family finding out about services they sought (i.e., STI testing, birth control). Husky Health would never release this information without your explicit consent, but insurance companies follow different rules.
If you have health insurance through a family member, it is possible that the primary subscriber could find out which services you received if they were to receive a statement in the mail from the insurance company. However, you can call your insurance company and ask them to send any statements to you directly. Be sure that the billing address Husky Health has on file for you is your own and not your family’s.
