X-rays at Tanner Medical Center also are charged to the student. In such cases, the hospital will consider the student primarily responsible financially. After the student has filed for any available medical insurance, the College will pay the emergency room fee, the emergency room physicians' fee, and for ambulance transportation to Tanner. The student is responsible for all other related expenses, including but not limited to charges for drugs, laboratory work, X-rays, other expenses for emergency room or hospital services, and the services of other medical personnel and agencies. Students referred to Tanner emergency room are given an authorization slip by the Health Services staff.
Any persons going directly to the hospital or doctor's office are responcible for fees incurred.
Students are also resposible for all medical bills incurred during periods when the Health Services is closed, including weekends and holidays. Students should remember that, if they are covered by personal or parents' insurance, it is essential that an insurance policy number be in their possession. Foreign students are required to have health insurance.
