In addition, students must have health insurance . Students can enroll in the Blue Cross Blue Shield plan offered through UHS or they can remain on their own or their parent's or spouse's insurance. The UHS medical staff includes physicians who are board certified in internal medicine, nurse practitioners, and registered nurses. Students are encouraged to choose a UHS physician or nurse practitioner as their own primary care provider. For the convenience of students on the three campuses, UHS has medical offices in the Medical Center, on the River Campus, and at the Eastman School of Music.
Students can schedule appointments at any UHS office.
In a medical emergency, students should call Security at x13 for immediate assistance. Notification of others, including parents, friends, and University faculty and administration, is considered the student's responsibility unless the condition is serious and the student is unable to assume responsibility for informing others. We will not share information about the fact or nature of a student's visit to UHS without the student's permission. If we become aware of a student's hospitalization, we will communicate that fact to the appropriate University officials without any diagnostic or treatment information. All incoming students must submit their Health History Form prior to the start of classes.
