Women's Health Appointments

Appointments are required. Same day appointments may be available for immediate issues. To make an appointment, log into your patient portal or call the Appointment Line at 785-864-9507.

When setting your appointment, have your class schedule available as well as your KU ID number. It is important to be specific about your needs so that you can be scheduled with the appropriate healthcare provider for the necessary amount of time.

Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your appointment time to accommodate for parking, possible lines and to complete the registration process. Patients arriving past their appointment time may be rescheduled.

Please check-in at the registration desk on the main floor. When checking in, you will be asked for your KU ID card (or other government-issued photo ID) and current insurance card if you would like Watkins Health Services to bill your health insurance. Health insurance is not required, but a photo ID is required.

Charges for Women's Health

Some of these services are covered by the campus wellness fee but others do incur a charge. If this is a concern, we can arrange for an estimate to be made before services are rendered.
