Will The Services I Receive At CHC Be Covered?

The cost for accessing care will usually be determined by what type of insurance you have.

  • For students covered by MassHealth, most of the services will be provided at no cost (students will be required to designate Community Health Connections as their primary care provider); · For students enrolled in the FSU’s Blue Cross and Blue Shield student health insurance plan, the office visit copayment is $15; or
  • Students under a parent's plan should be aware that Community Health Connections participates with most insurance plans and the cost for medical visits and ancillary services will be determined by the insurance plan’s schedule of benefits.
