| Policy Statement |
| The University will maintain an outpatient health service on the main campus, which will be staffed by a qualified physician and nurses. |
| Purpose |
The purpose of this policy is to describe eligibility for care at Student Health Services and medical records requirements. |
| Procedures |
| Eligibility for Care | Students may be seen during the semester in which they are enrolled. Enrollment shall be determined based on a current University identification card or by the student being shown as enrolled according to the University's Student Information System. During the Summer, students that were enrolled in the previous Spring semester who are not currently enrolled in the Summer semester will be seen until the last day of registration for the Fall semester. A student may pay an access fee for the Summer term or pay a set fee per each visit. (Some ancillary lab and/or x-ray will require a charge. If that is the case then the student will be charged a nominal fee). Faculty and Staff may be seen during regular hours when the university is open. An access fee will be charged per visit, and a current University identification card must be presented. If any ancillary work is done, there will be a nominal charge for the work done. |
| Medical Records | Prior to treatment in Student Health Services, the patient is required to complete a short personal medical record. A Physician's examination is not necessary to complete the form. All medical records of patients are confidential and information will not be released without written consent from the patient. Insurance claims are not filed for either students, faculty, or staff. |
