So it's come to understanding that UCI provides you with healthcare that covers appointments and prescriptions. Does that mean I get free apointments at the hospital as well as free meds?

I have allergies, asthma and some other problems so would I be able to get Allegra (allergy pills), fluticasone (nasal spray), and an albuterol for free or would I have to pay for those meds?

Hopefully that answers your questions.

Keep in mind that for ALL insurances...covered DOES NOT EQUAL free.

You get appointments at the Student Health Center on main campus for a copay.

Your meds will be provided to you thru local pharmacies or mail order at copays that depend on the medicine.

I assume you mean the undergrad insurance which I am not super familiar with so I cannot tell you exact numbers. But either way - yes it will be covered but no it won't be free.
