NMSHS/CAPS
ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Medicine Student Health Service
The NU-SHIP uses a “gateway model” to provide you with excellent care, and minimize your out-of-pocket costs,
wherever possible. To this end, when you are in the Evanston/Chicago area, you are encouraged to initiate care at
ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Medicine Student Health Service (NMSHS); NMSHS can serve as your primary-care provider while you are a ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ University student. Since all degree-seeking students may see an NMSHS provider at no cost, it is recommended that students utilize NMSHS first, to help you avoid unnecessary billing charges. If your NMSHS provider determines that follow-up care with a specialist is needed for further treatment, they will refer you to one. Please note formal referrals from NMSHS are not required to seek specialist care.
Students who waive the NU-SHIP with alternate comparable coverage still have access to ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Medicine Student Health Service (NMSHS). Ancillary services done at NMSHS such as lab work, imaging, immunizations, etc. are billable to your private insurance carrier. Therefore, students who plan on utilizing NMSHS on either the Evanston or Chicago campus are highly encouraged to be sure their prior to their visit. We also advise students to reach out to their private insurance carrier to verify NMSHS is in-network to minimize their portion of out-of-pocket costs.
