Some students pursuing their degrees in Knoxville pay student health fees allowing them direct access to student services offered at the University of Tennessee - Knoxville (UTK). For students enrolled in one of the audiology and speech pathology programs, or the pharmacy program and located in Knoxville, no additional actions are needed with respect to gaining access to student services on the UTK campus once fees are paid to the UTHSC.
For all UTHSC students in Knoxville
You may be seen by a UTK provider at no cost to you. There are, however, additional
charges for immunizations, physical therapy, x-ray, laboratory tests, etc. that YOU are responsible for. UTK Student Health cannot file claims with your insurance carrier
but will bill UTHSC directly on your behalf. UTHSC will bill you for those services,
but you may submit an itemized receipt (available from UTK Student Health) for possible
