Medical Services at Rutgers Student Health
General primary care services and sexual health services are available at all of the Rutgers Student Health Centers for registered students. Appointments can be made on the online scheduler through the Student Portal.
Counseling, Alcohol & Other Drug Assistance Program and Psychiatric Services (CAPS)
CAPS offers mental health services and referrals for transgender-related issues as well as mental health issues. Registered students are eligible to meet with a clinician to develop an individualized action plan. Select CAPS staff members have specialized experience and interest in working with transgender students.
Paying for Trans Related Health Care
Trans-related health care is often covered by health insurance companies, but each company is different and patients must investigate their own specific health insurance plan to determine benefits and coverage. Prescription drug coverage is often handled separately from the medical health benefits and may be managed by a different company all together. Be sure to ask about prescription drug coverage, as well. Please note student health on campus will provide trans-related medical care for registered students regardless of the type of insurance coverage.
