UHS is students' campus health resource. UHS is an outpatient clinic that offers extensive services including primary health care, gynecology, allergy treatment, nutrition clinic, specialty clinics, physical therapy, radiology, pharmacy, eye care, optical shop, laboratory, travel health services, advice by phone, and health education on sexual health, alcohol and other drugs, eating issues and more.

UHS is located on central campus and is staffed by licensed medical professionals.

Appointments are recommended or students can walk in without an appointment, usually for conditions that need to be treated as soon as possible. UHS is open Monday through Saturday. When UHS is closed, students can consult a clinician by phone for urgent health matters. Language interpretation is available. Services are confidential.

Enrolled students pay a health service fee as part of tuition, which covers most UHS services, including clinic visits, physical therapy, radiology and most laboratory tests. Therefore currently enrolled U-M students have few additional expenses at UHS.

The health service fee does not cover fees for allergy antigens, routine eye exams, glasses, contact lenses, immunization, medications and certain laboratory tests. Health care received outside UHS (including dental care and hospitalization) is not covered. Students are responsible for paying any costs not covered by the health service fee.

Students should have health insurance. Health insurance helps to cover the cost of services not covered by the health service fee (for example, ambulance, emergency room visits, medicine or hospitalization). Students who need insurance (or supplemental coverage) may be eligible to purchase the Domestic Student Health Insurance Plan (DSHIP), endorsed by the Michigan Student Assembly. Students should carry proof of insurance and know how to use their insurance.
