Student Health Center FAQ

The University requires all students to provide immunization information and complete a tuberculosis (TB) risk screening questionnaire before stating classes.

Submission Deadlines

• Fall semester: June 7 (or one week after confirming enrollment)
• Spring semester: Jan. 2

A $50 noncompliance charge will be assessed if the requirements are not met by August 1 for fall semester and by the first day of classes for spring semester. A registration hold will be placed on your account if you remain noncompliant six weeks after the start of the semester.

Student Health Insurance Responsibility

The University of Dayton believes that maintaining health insurance is a fundamental responsibility of every student and is essential for supporting both individual wellbeing and the broader campus community. While the Student Health Center (SHC) provides accessible medical care to eligible students, its services are not exhaustive.

Students are expected to carry comprehensive health insurance to cover medical needs including but not limited to:

• Specialized Services: While some students receive office visits at no extra charge, all students are responsible for costs related to medicines, allergy injections, immunizations, laboratory tests and x-ray examinations.
• Outside Referrals: Insurance is necessary for instances where the SHC must refer a student to outside providers or specialized laboratory services.
• Emergency and Hospitalization: Insurance protects students from the high costs of emergency room visits, hospitalizations or treatments for chronic health problems that cannot be managed solely on campus.

Your current health insurance policy must:

• Pay claims in US Dollars.
• Provide policy documents in English.
• Provide coverage effective through July 31 (no short-term policies).
• Include coverage in the Dayton area.
• Be compliant with the ACA (Affordable Care Act).

Financial Responsibility and Compliance

The University of Dayton is not responsible for covering any healthcare costs incurred by students. Students are solely responsible for all financial obligations associated with their personal healthcare. Because the Student Health Center does not bill outside insurance companies directly, students must maintain their insurance information to facilitate outside referrals or laboratory work. Students are able to print an itemized statement of any charges incurred at the Student Health Center for submission to their health insurance carrier. Students are strongly encouraged to verify their insurance eligibility and benefits — including network status for local providers — to avoid unexpected out-of-pocket expenses for needs that exceed the Student Health Center's capabilities.

There is no charge for consultations or examinations for undergraduate students and any student who has opted in to the Health & Wellbeing charge. Point-of-care testing is also included for any student who has paid the Health & Wellbeing charge.

All students are charged for:

• Medicines
• Laboratory testing
• Vaccines
• X-ray examinations
• Certain procedures performed by medical staff
• Miscellaneous medical supplies (e.g., ankle braces, dressing supplies)

All charges are placed on the student's account at the Office of Student Accounts. Insurance companies are not billed directly; however, students may request an itemized bill. Direct pay may be requested in certain situations.

All students should have a copy of their insurance card on file with the UD Student Health Center in case lab work, outside prescriptions, or referrals are needed. Please note that the Student Health Center does NOT bill insurance for services provided on campus.

Student Health Center visits are strictly confidential. Exceptions are made if a clear and imminent danger exists, or with the consent of students.

Currently enrolled University of Dayton students 15 years of age or older are considered mature minors at the UD Student Health Center. The mature minor status allows for minor students to receive medical care and/or treatment without parental/guardian consent.

No. If the professor requests confirmation of illness, the professor may submit a request on the UD Student Health Center website. Only verification dates will be given. Students must work with their professors to make up missed work.

Yes, as long as you have received allergy injection(s) in your allergist's office without significant reactions.

Before any allergy injections can be administered at UD, the Student Health Center must receive the completed allergy immunotherapy forms along with the student's allergy serum.

The student must first schedule a visit with a Student Health Center nurse to review the forms and drop off the serum. After that, the student will be scheduled to meet with a Student Health Center physician before any injections can be given.

The UD Student Health Center does not have an outpatient pharmacy. However, for your convenience, we do carry some commonly prescribed medications and make them available to students if ordered by our physicians. If the Student Health Center does not carry the medication, or if the student wants to use their insurance, we can order it from Walgreens (located on Wayne Ave.) and have it delivered to the UD Student Health Center. Students can pick up their prescriptions during regular business hours.

For prescriptions written by off-campus providers, students may bring a written prescription to the UD Student Health Center, and it will be forwarded to Walgreens along with a copy of the student's insurance card. Walgreens delivers to the Student Health Center once per week. Before a prescription can be delivered, payment arrangements must be made directly with Walgreens by calling 937-254-2156. Students may also use the Walgreens app to provide insurance and payment information.

You also may fill prescriptions to any local pharmacy.

For students with a lab order from an off-campus physician, the Student Health Center may draw blood specimens and send them to CompuNet Clinical Laboratories. To begin the process, the student should email a copy of the lab order to healthcenter@udayton.edu. After the order has been reviewed, the student will be contacted to schedule a nurse appointment. Please note that certain lab tests must be drawn directly at the lab. The lab order form must include:

• Student name and date of birth.
• If a standing order, please include frequency and duration of order.
• Fasting or non-fasting.
• Diagnosis code (ICD-10) MUST be included (It is not sufficient to have the diagnosis name alone).
• Specify if the results are to be mailed or faxed to the ordering physician's office. (Please make sure that the physician's fax number and complete address is included.)
• Ordering physician's NPI and UPIN numbers are required.

When the Student Health Center is closed, there are a number of options:

• For minor medical problems, the Student Health Center Porches page offers self-care information that provides basic symptom care info.
• For minor urgent medical problems, you can schedule online to see a Premier Student After Hours Clinic nurse practitioner or physician assistant. You must bring your University of Dayton Student ID and insurance card. Premier can only see students 18 years and older.
• Many insurance companies offer a "telehealth" option, so your student can talk to a provider remotely if your insurance covers this.
• For emergency symptoms (difficulty breathing, severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, etc.), students should call UD Public Safety at 937-229-2121 or 911 from a campus phone. Public Safety runs a fully-trained student EMS service 24/7 during the regular academic sessions.

If a student is transported by UD's Public Safety, the dean of students' office is notified. If a student is released from the emergency department, the dean's office sends a follow-up email to the student and parent the next business day. If the student is admitted to the hospital, the dean of students' office will contact the emergency contact via phone.

Your student should make sure to include updated emergency contact information (name, relationship, phone, and email) in their phone's emergency app, as well as noting this information when they fill out their housing contract (contact housing@udayton.edu to update info) or on the Flyer Student Services Porches page.
