Before a student goes to the doctor, they must call Student Health at (305) 899-3750 and give them:

1. The doctor's name
2. The doctor's fax number
3. The date of the appointment
4. Their diagnosis

They only need to do this once per diagnosis and per doctor. For follow-up visits, they will not need another referral.

All Barry students residing in campus housing are automatically enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan, and must activate coverage prior to being able to use it. If you do not activate your coverage below, it may cause delays in resolving claims.

Reminder for Barry Students: Don't forget, if you were insured with the Student Health Insurance for Spring/Summer, you still have nationwide health coverage through the UHCSR Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) during the Summer months!
