- Upload a copy of the front and back of your insurance card.

How do I pay for Student Health services?
Student Health Services does not bill health insurance for office visits, medications dispensed from the office, immunizations administered in the office, or in-office rapid laboratory testing. You can always file a claim with your health insurance company for reimbursement. You will be billed to your Student Charge. We can also bill your health insurance for sent-out laboratory testing (i.e. blood work or urine).
What are the insurance requirements for students?
As per University policy, all full-time undergraduate and graduate students are required to provide verification of health insurance coverage. This verification must be renewed annually. Student Health Services has information for affordable insurance if the student is not already covered under another plan, or if additional insurance is desired.
What should I do in a medical emergency?
Remain calm. If someone is in need of medical attention:
- Dial 215-572-2999 from your cell phone, x2999 from campus phone, or pick up any campus Emergency Phone. Public Safety will respond to an on-campus situation in which a staff member, student, or visitor requires emergency medical assistance. For off-campus medical emergencies, call 911.
- Unless it is unsafe to do so, remain on the scene until Public Safety arrives. Do not move the injured person unless there is danger of further harm. Keep the injured person warm. Do not exceed your training or knowledge when attempting to render first aid.
Who provides services to the students?
Student Health Services is staffed by Certified Registered Nurse Practitioners (CRNPs) who specialize in family medicine. There are MDs available on a limited basis from Chestnut Hill Family Practice.
