Billing for Charged Services
When a student is charged for a service through the Student Health Service (SHS), the charge is entered into the electronic medical record system of the Student Health Service. This charge is then transferred to the Bursar's Office, and put on the student's university account. The student will be expected to pay at Chubb Hall or the charge will appear on the student's electronic bill from the University.
Most students will also want to send the charges to their insurance company. A copy of the invoice for any charged service can be obtained at the Business Office, Hudson Health Center 111 (or call 740-593-1660). This invoice contains the appropriate insurance codes for reimbursement from your insurance company.
We do want to remind all students of the Privacy Rule, which is part of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Statements that include medical information, even if in the form of codes and not actual words to describe services rendered, must be sent to the patient. Parents will sometimes call to ask for a statement that can be sent to the insurance company. These statements will be sent to the student; you can then give the statement to your parent for submission to the insurance company.
