[Eoscstudents] Feeling sick? Get treatment through EOSC Student Health Services

[Eosc News]

As cold and flu season arrives, please remember that Eastern offers Student
Health Services for the treatment of colds, flu and other minor illnesses.
Covered services are provided free of charge for students without health
insurance. Costs will be charged to private insurance for students who have
coverage. Transportation will be provided for students without access to a
vehicle.



*Eligibility*

All full-time EOSC students who are enrolled in the current semester are
eligible for services. Proof of current enrollment is required. All
students must present a valid EOSC ID before receiving services.



*What is covered by Student Health Services?*


   - Treatment for minor illness and injuries
   - Referrals to health care providers, specialists, or community agencies
   - Basic office visits and physical exam visits (family practice
   physician and nurse practitioner)
   - Lab tests and X-Rays/EKGs needed to assist in a diagnosis
   - Prenatal care and specialist visits (such as a surgeon, orthopedist,
   or ear/nose/throat) are NOT covered. In many cases, prenatal care will be
   covered by SoonerCare.

*Prescriptions*

If medication is necessary, a prescription will be written which can be
filled at any local pharmacy. The Health and Wellness Center has a
contractual agreement with Main Street Drug for the low-cost 340b
prescription program. Students are responsible for payment of prescriptions.

*Who is financially responsible?*

Students are financially responsible for all services received at The
Health and Wellness Center that are not covered by Student Health
Services. Students
should familiarize themselves with which services are and are not covered. If
the Health and Wellness Center is not within their insurance's provider
network it may benefit the student to seek care from another clinic within
their network rather than incurring charges not covered by Student Health
Services. EOSC does NOT provide any type of compensation for injuries that
occur on campus. Each student and visitor is expected to have their own
health insurance to cover personal medical costs.



*Where are clinical services provided?*

Specific clinical services are provided for eligible EOSC students through
a contractual agreement with Wilburton's Health and Wellness Center.

Health and Wellness Center
802 Hwy. 2 North
Wilburton, OK 74578

All appointments are to be scheduled in advance by contacting:

Office of Student Services

*What to bring?*


   - Valid EOSC Student ID (required)
   - Completed Healthcare Eligibility Form (available in Student Services)
