All Harvard employees may seek care at HUHS for urgent medical issues that arise while at work, as long as the onset of the illness or injury occurred within the previous 24 hours. HUHS contracts with Harvard University-sponsored insurance plans and Medicare and will bill these insurance carriers. HUHS is considered a nonparticipating provider in most other insurance carrier networks. Your insurance plan will be billed for the cost of the visit; charges for an office visit vary depending on the services provided. This charge excludes the cost of any prescription drugs or laboratory services, which will be billed separately. - Harvard employees with a Harvard-sponsored insurance plan will be responsible for an office visit copayment, determined by the insurance plan, due at the time of service. - Harvard employees who do not have a Harvard-sponsored insurance plan will be required to pay the amount determined by their insurance plan after the plan is billed for the cost of the visit. If you are injured at work and seek medical assistance at HUHS, you should follow the Workers’ Compensation procedures established by the University.
