If EMS transports the injured to a civilian hospital or emergency room, the patient will be responsible for both the transportation and the treatment costs. If the Student Health Clinic is open, the Clinic is not normally staffed to respond to the site of emergencies. Student Health Service provides medical care for most illnesses and injuries experienced by college students.
UTSA students are eligible for medical services by presenting their student identification card.
If the student will come to the reception window, they will soon be seen by a registered nurse, who will determine the severity of their condition and refer them to the first available UTSA physician or, if a UTSA physician with the required specialty is not available in a timely manner, the student may be referred appropriately off-campus. It is important to remember that off-campus referrals are the financial responsibility of the student. Treatment at the Health clinic is usually without charge, however, laboratory tests, and prescribed drugs do require a nominal charge. If the student has health insurance or is covered by parents insurance carriers, they should have the appropriate identification card with them at the time of treatment.
