Our teams serve all UVA undergraduate and graduate students charged the mandatory fees (which includes Student Health and Wellness) with their tuition. There are no costs associated with visits to care providers as they have been included with tuition as mandatory fees. However, there can be charges for medications, lab tests, supplies for certain treatments, and immunizations.
