All students will complete our UCS Intake Form prior to being scheduled for an appointment. Our UCS support staff will review the intake information with the student to verify that all questions have been answered and then work with the student to get them scheduled with a UCS counselor for an initial appointment. Students are welcome to walk in to fill out the intake form and then schedule their appointment. For questions about our intake process or scheduling, please call UCS at 660-785-4014.

All services are billed like a regular doctor’s office - billable through private/commercial insurance, Medicaid, or make private payments. Financial assistance is available to all students, including Sliding Fee Scale or a Same-Day, Self-Pay discount. Other grant-funded financial assistance options may be available throughout the year but may be subject to additional guidelines. Billed statements will be mailed to the address on file at UCS/Student Health Center (this is the address that the student gives us at the time services are being rendered, not necessarily the address on file with the Truman State University). Billing statement will be from Complete Family Medicine, a service of Hannibal Regional. Any bill for services rendered at UCS or the Student Health Center will NOT appear on the student's Truman account.
