Labs / Testing

Any lab that is not paid for by the Dartmouth College Health Service (Dick's House) will be billed directly to the patient by the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center who processes the specimens.

 

Making a Payment

All billable service fees will automatically be posted to the student's tuition account if not paid for at the time of service with cash, check or credit card.  Charges posted to a student's tuition account do not state the service or treatment provided as that information is confidential and cannot be released without the patient's written consent. 

We are unable to submit claims to insurance companies; however, upon written request of the patient, an invoice will be provided which may be submitted to his/her health plan for reimbursement -- please send a request to Patient Accounts.

Insurance Reimbursement

If you are a member of the Dartmouth Student Group Health Plan (DSGHP), most of the billable services will be submitted to the Plan directly for you through a secure portal by the Patient Accounts Office.  A few weeks later the DSGHP Office here on campus will post a "DSGHP Reimbursement" payment to your student tuition account where the charge was posted.  DSGHP reimburses 100% of the following charges when received at the College Health Service:

  • Leave term office visits
  • Athletic Physicals
  • DOT Physicals
  • Immunizations
  • Birth Control Devices
  • Inpatient Admissions

 The DSGHP does not cover or reimburse the following charges at the Health Service:

  • Form Completions
  • Cane or Crutch Fees
  • X-ray Copy Fees
  • Medical Record Copy Fees
  • No Show Fees 

 

If you have waived enrollment into the DSGHP, keeping your own health plan, the Health Service will be an out of network provider and unable to submit claims directly to your health plan on your behalf.  However, the Patient Accounts Office can, at the patient's request, provide an invoice that the patient may submit to their health plan for possible reimbursement.  The amount of the reimbursement, if any, will be determined by your plans terms and conditions.  If you have an outside plan and need a billable service, stop by or call the Patient Accounts Office to go over the billing prior to receiving the service.
