Frequently Asked Questions
All full-time undergraduates (those students registered for 12+ hours) are eligible to use the Health Center. Unfortunately, due to current space limitations, we are unable to provide care for part-time students, graduate students, faculty, or staff members.
Do I need an appointment to use the center? | Back to top.
Students are strongly encouraged to call for an appointment. By scheduling an appointment, you will receive more efficient medical care. The Health Services and Counseling Center is located behind Austin Hall and is open Mon.-Thurs., 8 a.m.-12 p.m., and 1:15 p.m.-6 p.m. and Fri 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. We do offer some extended hours during the academic year. Contact the Health Center for a listing of those hours. The phone number is (813) 253-6250.
What if I need non-emergency medical attention after hours or during weekend? | Back to top.
A physician or nurse practitioner is on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week for medical triage. For medical attention, call campus security at (813) 251-5133, who will contact the medical provider on call. The physician or nurse practitioner will contact you as soon as possible to determine what course of action should be taken.
What should I do if I have a medical emergency? | Back to top.
In case of emergency, call (or ask someone to call) 911 to dispatch rescue personnel immediately.
Who will be treating me? | Back to top.
Most of your medical care as a UT student will be provided by an advanced registered nurse practitioner who is able to diagnose and treat most common physical health problems and prescribe medications.
Can the center fill prescriptions? | Back to top.
Prescriptions written at the health center by the nurse practitioner can be filled for a nominal fee. This service is based on availability of medications. There is a small prescription benefit with student health insurance. You may also take prescriptions to any drugstore. Walgreens, located three blocks away on Platt Street, offers a pharmacy within walking distance. There is also a CVS on Swann Avenue in Olde Hyde Park Village.
Is there a fee for using services? | Back to top.
If you are a full-time undergraduate student who has paid your student service fee, many of the center’s services are covered by student health insurance. You need to supplement this coverage with a comprehensive private health insurance policy. For services that are not covered by student health insurance, a reasonable fee is charged at the time of visit.
Fee schedule for services not covered by student health insurance**:
**Fees are subject to change.
Why must I have proof of measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR)? | Back to top.
The State of Florida University System requires all students born after 1956 to present proof of immunity to measles and rubella. The documentation for measles consists of at least on e of the following: documentation of 2 does of live measles virus vaccine on or after first birthday or laboratory (blood) evidence of measles immunity.
Since there is no evidence of increased risk from measles revaccination, it is recommended that those students who cannot provide an immunization date after extended research and those who present with questionable immunization dates be vaccinated/revaccinated prior to registration. All immunizations should be given in accordance with the recommendations of the United States Public Health Service, Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (http://www.cdc.gov).
What additional vaccinations are important? | Back to top.
Hepatitis B proof of immunization series. You are required to sign a waiver if you opt not to have Hepatitis B series.
Meningitis vaccine protects against bacterial meningitis. It’s strongly recommended that you have this vaccine when living in a dormitory setting. If you choose not to have meningitis vaccine, then you must sign a waiver.
Tetanus vaccination is required every 10 years for prophylactic purposes. In the event of a “dirty” puncture wound, it is recommended to have a tetanus vaccination within five years. Currently, the best booster available is Adacel, which is a combination of tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis. Recently, there has been an increase in pertussis (“whooping cough”, and the latest CDC recommendations are to boost for this with the tetanus and diptheria, even for adults.
Does the center help provide birth control? | Back to top.
Students can schedule an appointment for the Women's Wellness Clinic. Women's wellness visits include; a pap smear, chlamydia culture, urinalysis, and a complete blood count (CBC). Fees for these services begin at $70 and vary based on the pap smear option chosen. Birth control options will be discussed. The contraception that is available at the SHC are oral contraceptives and the Depo Provera injection.
