Health Fee Advisory Board (HFAB)

Health Fee Advisory Board meeting The Health Fee Advisory Board (HFAB) advises University Health Services-Tang Center and campus administration on matters related to the Campus Health Care Fee paid during registration. |
Campus Health Care Fee
In March 2005 during the Safeguard Student Health Care Fee
Referendum, students voted for a health fee that would protect and
improve access to services at University Health Services (UHS)--Tang
Center. The collection of the fee began in Fall 2005.
Each year, the Health Fee Advisory Board (HFAB) conducts analysis and recommends a Campus Health Care Fee level for the following year. In line with HFAB's 2012 recommendation, the following change will occur for 2012-13:
- Fall/spring semester health fee was increased from $54.50 to $56.50, starting fall 2012
- Summer health fee will be increased from $38.50 to $41, starting summer 2013

Health Fee Advisory Board
HFAB reviews allocations of Campus Health Care Fee monies and recommends annually to campus health officials any change in the fee level. The committee reviews data, meets with the Executive Director and managers at the Tang Center, and provides written recommendations. HFAB is a semester-long commitment and meets on the following Wednesdays from 4:15 - 6pm: 9/26, 10/24, 11/28 and 12/5. This is a fantastic opportunity to explore emerging healthcare finance issues and learn about healthcare administration in a campus setting.
HFAB meets the campus requirement to have student representation on a committee regarding the use of a mandatory campus-based fee.
Membership
The Health Fee Advisory Board (HFAB) consists of 7-10 students
representing the ASUC, Committee on Student Fees, Graduate Assembly,
Student Health Advisory Committee and at-large undergraduate and graduate
students. HFAB works closely with the Student Health Advisory Committee to
learn about student health trends and to formulate recommendations
related to the health fee.
