Frequently Asked Questions

We will bill primary and secondary insurance companies when an assignment of benefits is received. You should check with your insurance carrier about the coverage and benefits provided by your specific plan. Referrals, deductibles, non-covered services, co-pays, and any balances not paid by your insurance carrier(s) will be your responsibility.

We have contracts with all the major insurance carriers (BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, UnitedHealthcare, Tricare Standard, and various other PPO Networks). As a courtesy to you, we will bill all insurance companies with which you have a policy, but we cannot guarantee coverage from any of them.

You should check with your insurance carrier about the coverage and benefits provided by your specific plan. Any deductibles, copays, non-covered services, and balances not paid by your insurance carrier will be your responsibility.

NOTE: We do not have a contract with TRICARE Prime, Medicare, and Medicaid.

Please consult with TRICARE on whether your plan is TRICARE Standard or TRICARE Prime. 

TRICARE Standard is the TRICARE option that provides the most flexibility to TRICARE-eligible beneficiaries. It is the fee-for-service option that allows beneficiaries to see any TRICARE-authorized provider, and we currently are a TRICARE-authorized provider. Please be aware that with TRICARE Standard you will be responsible for any deductibles and co-pays.

With TRICARE Prime, most medical care will come from a Military Treatment Facility, along with the TRICARE contracted civilian medical providers in the Preferred Provider Network. TRICARE Prime members should seek the advice of their Primary Care Manager (PCM) or Military Treatment Facility (MTF) before seeking medical attention from us. Without a referral or pre-authorization to visit the Auburn University Medical Clinic, a patient with TRICARE Prime will be responsible for the entire visit.

More information on your TRICARE plan can be found here: http://www.tricare.mil/contactus

We are not an approved Medicare/Medicaid provider; therefore, payment for your visit will be your responsibility. We suggest using one of the approved Medicare providers listed here or one of the Medicaid providers listed here.

Payment is expected upon provision of service and may be made by cash, check, or card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover). However, in special situations, and with prior approval from our Practice Manager, payment arrangements may be available.

NOTE: We CANNOT charge to a student's Tigeri eBill, but we may place a hold on a student's account with the registrar if no payment or payment arrangement is made.

The medical information is a requirement for ALL incoming students. It provides the university with certain medical information including the 2 requirements needed to attend Auburn University. It is completed electronically through Med+Proctor. Click HERE to upload your immunization information to Med+Proctor. 

As a new student, you will need your insurance and billing information plus:

• Measles Vaccination

  • Typically this is found in the form of a Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) shot.  If these shots were received as a child, then we require both dates.  If you are not able to locate this information, then proof of at least one recent dose is required.  The Auburn University Medical Clinic provides this shot for a fee of $113 that covers the cost and administration of the shot.

• Tuberculosis Testing

  • Auburn University requires a Tuberculosis Skin Test or Tuberculosis Blood Test from every student in order to attend. The Auburn University Medical Clinic provides both the skin test and the blood test. The skin test is a $30.00 fee, not billed to insurance. The blood test will be filed to your insurance carrier. 

  • NOTE: A chest x-ray is NOT an acceptable alternative to the TB skin/blood test and will be rejected.

It is due as soon as possible. The TB test cannot be past 6 months old from the first day of class. A hold will be placed on the student's account preventing registering for classes and/or changing schedules until the form is completed.
