H1N1 • Dr. Eleanor Davidson, UHS • Precautions • Vaccination procedures • Questions?
Health Care Hunt • Use the Your Health at Case brochures and this web address: http://gss.case.edu/committee/healthcare.php
Health Care Hunt • You are not on the Student Medical Plan. What health care services are still available to you through Case? • You cut your finger and may need stitches, but are not worried about bleeding to death or losing your finger. Urgent Care bills insurance $250, the ER bills $400. What are the out-of-pocket costs to you? • What is Aetna Advantage, and how much does it cost for a student and their spouse to join for the year? • You take Paxil every day. The generic name for the drug is Paroxetine. You are on the Student Medical Plan. What is the cheapest way for you to get a 90-day supply of this drug? • How much does a well woman exam cost at UHS? With an Aetna provider? • You are graduating May. When does your coverage through Case expire? • What services can you get through the dental school if you are on Case’s Student Medical Plan?
Health Care Hunt • Do you have to pay the $660/semester fee all at once? • You need to show an employer your immunization record and get a Hep B vaccination. What do you do? • You think you may be depressed. Who should you call, and what are their numbers? • Find 2 Urgent Care centers within 5 miles of campus that are covered by Aetna Student Health. • What are the hours at UHS? • How do you get a prescription drug card? • You need an eye exam and contacts. How do you find a provider and use the discount available to you? • You are a student and have a spouse and 2 children. How much will it cost to insure your family for the 2009-2010 school year?
The Main Points • THINK. And do your research. • Ask for help if you need it. • Go to UHS whenever you can. • Preventive health (including well woman exams) is NOT covered through Aetna. Go to UHS. • Take care of yourself. But don’t make mountains out of molehills. Seek appropriate care.
University Health Services • Dr. Nell Davidson
Aetna Student Health • Derick Spath
