Baxter Medical Center does not do any insurance billing. Payment must be made by cash or check within 30 days. The Dean of Students Office at Scripps distributes detailed insurance brochures. In the event of an accident or an illness, Baxter Medical Center serves Scripps students and is a five-minute walk from campus. There are no weekend hours.
Appointments are preferred.
Routine non-emergency health services at Baxter are included in the student health fee, but lab testing and prescriptions must be paid for when received. Outside consultation, emergency care, hospitalization and surgery are arranged by the health service, but are not financed by the College, and payment for them is the responsibility of the individual student. Your student should have a physical exam record on file at Baxter. Also, your student should bring any important prescriptions that may need to be refilled while at Scripps. There is a 24-hour pharmacy located near campus.
