Who Can Receive Care at Employee Health Service?
Employees who are paid by the university and receive benefits are eligible for services.
When calling for an appointment, please have your:
• UM employee number
• State health insurance number (insurance card needs to be brought to EHS at your first visit)
Billing and Insurance
A nominal charge is made to see a health-care provider. Charges are also incurred for laboratory, radiology and other medical services. As you leave the clinic, you are given an opportunity to indicate over how many paychecks you would like to have your bill deducted.
The only insurance that is filed from EHS is the state employees insurance. After your visit, a claim is filed to the insurance carrier. After we receive notice of payment, the amount that is not covered by the insurance and listed in the column Due to Provider is paid through payroll deduction.
•Employees who do not have the state employees insurance will be responsible for their bills and will have to file their own claims.
•Secondary insurance cannot be filed.
