Starting June 1st, 2013, Dignity Health Medical Group (DHMG)
physicians will provide USF students with primary health care services. There will now be two locations for your
health care needs.
St. Mary's Office
2250 Hayes Street, Suite 504
Appointments (415)750-5995
|
Saint Francis Office
1199 Bush Street, suite 40
Appointments (415) 292-3700 |
All USF students are eligible to access both clinics during
regular business hours regardless of their health insurance plan. A valid USF student ID and an insurance card must be
presented before receiving health care services. If you do not know your health insurance information, please contact Health Promotion Services at 415.422.5797 or hps@usfca.edu. Although HPS staff can offer assistance, it is ultimately the student responsibility to determine his or her insurance coverage.
Please note. There is no charge associated with your
office visit to DHMS clinics; however, fees may be incurred if immunization, laboratory,
and radiology tests are needed to address your health concerns. Therefore students
with Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) insurance such as Kaiser are highly
recommended going to Kaiser on Geary Street or their HMO medical home to reduce
their out of pocket cost of health care services.
