Vaden Health Services Fees
Some services offered at Vaden are not covered by the Campus Health Service Fee. These include travel consultations, some immunizations, physical exams, CAPS long-term therapy, and CAPS medication management.
The Campus Health Service Fee ("Health Fee") is a quarterly fee that is mandatory for all undergraduate and graduate students, visiting student researchers, and students who participate in high school summer programs that result in course credit at Stanford. This fee, which is charged on the student bill each quarter that tuition is charged, covers many of the services provided at Vaden Health Center including primary care visits, CAPS evaluation and short-term therapy, and health and wellness programs.
- Note: In 2025-2026 the Campus Health Service Fee is $271 per quarter.
At Vaden Health Services’ Counseling & Psychological Services, your well-being is our priority. Most visits—including crisis support, initial consults, and follow-ups—are covered by the Health Fee, ensuring access with zero co-pay.
