Student Health Services (SHS)
Services Offered
- Assessment and Treatment of Injuries and Illnesses
Guided by policies and procedures developed in collaboration with a consulting physician and university administration, the Nurse Practitioner (NP) provides assessment, diagnosis, and treatment for common illnesses, injuries, and certain psychiatric illnesses. When a student’s needs extend beyond the scope of services offered, referrals are provided to appropriate community healthcare providers covered by their insurance whenever possible. - Point of care testing such as flu, mono, and strep
- TB (Tuberculosis) Testing: TB tests (PPD-Mantoux) are given on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and read two days later.
- Nurse Practitioner consultation on health topics
- Labs: Nurse Practitioners can provide laboratory orders for STI/STD screening, sickle cell screening, QuantiFERON-TB Gold testing, and vaccine titers. Students requiring these tests are referred to Quest Diagnostics, where specimens are collected at off-campus laboratory locations. Quest Diagnostics bills most insurance providers directly; however, students may be responsible for costs not covered by their insurance. Students are encouraged to verify coverage with their insurance provider and confirm whether Quest Diagnostics is an in-network laboratory before testing.
Things to Know
- All visits and records are confidential.
- Medications: SHS provides free samples of select over-the-counter medications for common illnesses and injuries, including decongestants, cough medications, throat lozenges, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen. Antibiotics may be purchased
- for approximately $20. When needed, prescriptions can be electronically sent to the student’s preferred pharmacy, with the exception of Kaiser pharmacy.
- Office visit charges: There is no charge for an office visit for full-time undergraduate students as this is part of their University fees. There is a fee of $25.00 for medical office visits for part-time and graduate students which must be paid at time of service.
