Medical and counseling information may not be released without the written consent of the patient. Our staff will try to assist you with general questions, but we cannot violate patient confidentiality that is protected by law. Except for serious emergencies, students are responsible for notifying parents and guardians of their condition. Referrals Just like your family physician, our staff physicians will refer students to outside specialists as necessary. The health fee does not cover outside specialists, and bills are the student's responsibility.
Many specialists request payment at the time of the visit.
When students are referred to arcea specialists, they are given an information sheet reminding them of any requirements for approval or pre-certification for care if they have private insurance. Insurance claims PUHS does not file insurance or health plan claims. Most bills from physician offices or hospitals will be forwarded to your home address or the student's dorm address. Students are responsible for payment and filing claims. The Princeton University Health Services policy on confidentiality ensures a patient's right to privacy.
