What To Bring:
Presentation of a valid student I.D. is required. If students are
covered by an insurance plan they must bring insurance cards or
information. Some insurances may be billed first before Student
Health Services, so if students do not wish their insurance to be
billed for certain services, they should notify clinic registration
staff.
Who is financially responsible for services not covered?
Students are financially responsible for all services received at the River Falls Medical Clinic and Pierce County Reproductive Health Services that are not covered by Student Health Services. Students should familiarize themselves with which services are and are not covered. Medical Excuses:
UWRF STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES DOES NOT PROVIDE EXCUSES FOR ABSENCES
FROM CLASS. The
notifying of instructors and arranging of make-up work in cases
involving absence of students from class are the responsibility
of the student. A student who is absent should notify
instructors by phone, email, or in person of the absence as soon
as possible. In serious situations where the student is incapacitated
and temporarily unable to contact faculty, family members may contact
the Special Assistant to the Chancellor (715/425-3744) for assistance with these
matters. This office then would provide notification (not
verification) of the absence to the instructors involved.
The Special Assistant to the Chancellor does not provide excuses for absences
from class. Arrangements for make-up work, make-up exams,
or possible assignment adjustments are entirely the responsibility
of the student. Medical excuses will not be written
by staff or providers at the River Falls Medical Clinic nor by UWRF
Student Health Services staff.
Taxi Service:
Taxi service by the River Falls Taxi at 425-7878 is provided for
transportation to and from the River Falls Medical Clinic at no
charge with presentation of a valid student I.D.
