Payment is due at the time of service. Cash, checks, EmoryCard, Visa and MasterCard are accepted.

However, at the end of 90 days, all unpaid charges are transmitted to the Bursar to be included on the student's central account. The Bursar will bill for any unpaid charges. If a student's account becomes past due, the Bursar may cause the withholding of transcripts, grades, registration or other University provided services or goods until all past due amounts are paid.

Insurance:

All students are strongly encouraged to have health insurance and some Emory colleges/schools require their students to have health insurance. Also, students and parents should be aware that some insurance policies will not cover services provided by EUSHS, nor do they provide adequate coverage for care received in Atlanta. Students are strongly encouraged to review their health insurance coverage and know any special requirements and provisions of their plan, such as pre-existing condition limitations or exclusions, pre-admission certification, medical benefits and prescription coverage.

Information regarding a health insurance plan offered for Emory students by The Chickering Group/Aetna is available at the EUSHS website at www.emory.edu/UHS. If you have any questions about the plan, call the EUSHS Insurance Coordinator at (404) 727-7560, or by email at shsinsurance@emory.edu.
