KEEPING BOILERMAKERS HEALTHY

Health Services purdue.edu/push (765) 494-1700 The Purdue University Student Health Center (PUSH) provides medical care through a high-quality outpatient facility staffed by licensed physicians, nurse practitioners, and professional healthcare providers. Office visits to the medical clinic are free to all full-time students. Other services, such as minor procedures and treatments, laboratory tests, x-rays, physical therapy, immunizations, and preventative visits are available on a feefor-service basis. Students must submit immunization dates through the patient portal by the first day of classes. Please go to purdue.edu/push/ Immunization and follow the instructions for completing and submitting the online form. The University strongly recommends that each student be covered by health insurance; families are encouraged to contact their insurance providers before their student arrives on campus. PUSH is in network with

both Anthem and United Healthcare and will submit bills for services to the student’s insurance plan. We encourage you to check with your insurance plan about coverage before coming to campus.

Student Health Insurance purdue.edu/push/Insurance/ EnrollmentInformation Domestic students are not required to purchase outside healthcare coverage; however, purchasing health insurance is mandatory for international students as it is a condition of enrollment at Purdue University.
