Q6: We have our own health insurance,
can we have the "medical service plan" fee waived?

co-payment at the time of the visit to the clinic. Therefore,
if you have your own health insurance, it is not necessary
to use it for services covered by this plan. For additional
information, contact the Office of the Vice President for
Student Services at 432-552-2600.
