Preferred Clinic
All SAIS students may visit the Georgetown University Student Health Center. This is designated as the preferred clinic for SAIS students covered under the Aetna Student Health plan. The deductible payment is limited to $75 per condition for students who begin treatment there. Students may choose any other clinic or doctor they wish, but will be subject to the full cost of the deductible ($250).
For counseling services, the deductible is reduced to $75 per condition when the Johns Hopkins Student Assistance Program refers you for treatment. See the Counseling Resources page for more information.
The Georgetown University Student Health Center is located at:
Ground Floor, Darnall Hall
3800 Reservoir Road NW
Washington, DC 20007
Appointments and Questions:
202.687.2200
Request an appointment at the Main Campus and bring your SAIS J-Card and insurance card. Note: this is not a walk-in clinic.
Please note: Georgetown does not provide birth control prescriptions for family planning purposes. Women who need to get a birth control prescription should visit other medical providers or community resources. The benefit for the annual routine gynecological exam through Aetna Student Health includes the office visit, pap smear screening and chlamydia test. Benefits differ from the plan for Georgetown University students. For example, tests for gonorrhea are not covered under the Aetna Student Health plan and students should warn Georgetown doctors that this is the case. To avoid paying for uncovered exams, make sure your doctor knows your health insurance plan is not the Georgetown plan.
