I got sick last week and was about to go to an urgent care. Then I remembered reading about Student Health Services at Ole Miss . Here's the deal: your first visit each semester costs only $10. Compare that to urgent care which runs $150 to $300 or more each visit .
I paid $10 for a doctor's appointment that would have cost me $200 elsewhere. And if you're struggling to pay for labs or extra services, you can apply for up to $500 in assistance through the UHS Medical Expense Fund .
The Director of University Health Services said they offer "comprehensive women's health care, including gynecological services such as contraception counseling, IUD placement and routine preventive care" . That's stuff you'd normally need a specialist for.
Mental health services are also available through the University Counseling Center in Lester Hall — free counseling. And if you need medication, first psychiatric visit is $25, with all follow-ups free.
The university now has two locations — the main one and the new South Oxford Center. To schedule, call *(662)-915-7274* .
Here's my full list of free stuff I've discovered:
