In order to qualify for USHS coverage of an emergency room visit, it is imperative that the student follow the procedure outlined below and understand the limitations of this coverage. The visit is for illness, and not accidental injury. The visit does not result in a hospitalization. The visit is not related to pregnancy or mental health. Treatment is sought at MCV Hospitals.
Treatment is required after regular office hours.
The student reports to USHS for follow-up care as soon as possible after discharge from the emergency room. Under the circumstances listed above, USHS will cover the cost of the emergency room visit only. Should the student be admitted to a hospital, the cost of hospitalization and the emergency room visit must be borne by the student. Telephone the USHS office on the campus where you are enrolled. A recording will give you the number to call to page the USHS practitioner on call.
