The service is always confidential. The services are available free to all students, residents or commuters. Your confidential health record form must be on file in the Health Service office, before you can be treated. This form is to be completed by you and your doctor and contains your past medical history, current medical problems, your immunization record, and such essential information as allergies to medications, etc. All information present is, again, confidential and available only to members of the College Health Service staff.
Insurance is required by Massachusetts law.
It must be an insurance that is billable in Massachusetts. If not, you will need to purchase school insurance. Insurance is required for lab and x-ray tests ordered out of the Health Service. If you are not feeling well you should call the Health Service office for an appointment. There is a Nurse Practitioner to diagnose and treat many of the common health problems of a student on a college campus.
