Please see https://uhs.berkeley.edu/news/health-opportunity-fund for 19/20 HOF info.

It's already loaded onto your Cal One Card. 2. Go to cashier right after your health visit and have them use the HOF on your card to pay (no need to specify pell, dream, etc.). The system is not set up for retroactive reimbursement. 3. If you're undocumented, you don't have to use HOF to pay for any mental health appointments (e.g. psychiatrist visit) as they should be automatically waived. Consult Diana Peña for any clarification or issues
