No out-of-pocket cost!

Most services at Student Health Clinic are available at no out-of-pocket cost to students. Enrolled MCTC students automatically pay the Student Life fee. A portion of that fee goes toward on-campus health care services. Enrolled students do not need health insurance to use on-campus health care services. Students are responsible to pay for items not covered by the Student Life fee. Examples of things not paid for by the Student Life fee include: vaccinations and immunizations; common medical supplies and equipment like ace wraps, crutches and splints and filling prescriptions or purchasing over-the-counter medications.

Mental health evaluation and referral

Painful feelings such as depression, anger and low self-esteem can affect anyone. At times, stressors, relationships and past family experiences cannot be managed easily and become overwhelming. When this happens and you find it hard to function, you may want to seek professional help. Confidential mental health services are offered at the Student Health Clinic. Available services include:

• Diagnostic evaluation
• Limited individual therapy (evaluation plus up to two more associated therapy visits)
• Referrals to appropriate MCTC and community resources (please note that care received off campus is not covered by the Health Services fee, even if a Student Health Clinic provider gives a referral to an off-campus facility)

Mental health services are free and are paid through the Health Services fee included in your tuition. You must present your Student ID to use the Student Health Clinic at MCTC. You do not need health insurance to access mental health services. However, if you do have health insurance, bring your health insurance card to your clinic visit.

Student Health Clinic at MCTC is available as a result of advocacy efforts by Wellness Advocates for You (W.A.Y.), a collaborative effort of students, faculty, staff, community organizations and leaders to bring wellness education and services to the MCTC campus.
