Charges & Fees

University Health Services charges $15 for basic primary care office visits at the A.P. Beutel Student Health Center. Other visit types may incur a higher charge based on the level of service, such as telemedicine, mental health, specialty visits, or other visits with complex or multiple complaints. For other services provided, discounted fees may be offered. These charges can be applied to the student’s fee account, which will then be paid to Student Business Services. All currently enrolled Texas A&M students may access no-cost counseling & mental health care visits through telemedicine options or the Student Counseling & Mental Health Care Center located on the 4^th floor of the Student Services Building (SSB), mulitiple embedded locations throughout Texas A&M University main campus, and embedded locations on Texas A&M System satellite campuses.
