Visiting an Off Campus Medical Facility

·  Take your health insurance information with you. Most medical service providers will not provide treatment without a payment guarantor.
·  Ask directions to the medical facility if you do not know where it is located. There's almost nothing worse than getting lost when you don't feel well.
·  If you will be seeking follow-up treatment at the Health Services, ask the off-campus healthcare provider for copies of all documentation, or sign a release of information so Health Services staff will know what follow-up services you will need.
·  You are an adult. Unless you sign a release of information, the healthcare provider cannot talk with your parents or other parties about your treatment (except in certain situations).
·  If you do not have your own transportation, ask a friend for help in getting to your medical appointment.  Health Services does not provide transportation.
·  If you need to be admitted to the hospital, let College administrators know. They can help you arrange course work, etc. while you are hospitalized.
