- To see a doctor: International students who want to see a doctor, should contact the Health Services Offices (available at both Oceanside and San Elijo campus). If the Health Services Office is closed, you should contact a health clinic listed on the Health Insurance flyer.

However, if you visit Health Services and they refer you to a doctor, you do NOT need to pay the $20 copay! Whether you need to pay additional fees for your doctor's visit depends on which clinic and which doctor you see. Please contact the Student Insurance Agency by calling
