Health Center Fees
 |
There is no charge to be seen in the Health Center. There are however some charges generated for certain medications
and laboratory tests, just as in any medical facility. Costs for medication
and laboratory services may be paid in cash, charged to parents, charge to VISA or Master Card, or the
student may use their declining balance account. You will find a schedule
of fees below. A receipt is available upon request so these charges may
be submitted to your insurance carrier. Costs for medical care provided
by the Emergency Department, or specialists in the community, are the
students' responsibility. If a medication is needed that
is not stocked in the Health Center, a prescription will be written. Your
prescripton can be filled at any of the local pharmacies. Link here for
the name, address and phone numbers of the local
pharmacies.
If you belong to a Managed Care network such as a Health Maintenence
Organization (HMO), you must notify them of the visit and charges by
phone within a certain time (usually 24 hours) in order to be reimbursed
for the expense. Each insurance carrier is different, so you should
familiarize yourself with your companies' guidelines for notification
and reimbursement. |
