OU-HCOM students with Ohio
University's Student Health Insurance Plan (Accordia/Anthem)
may be seen at University Medical Associates (UMA) (1) only on referral by a Hudson
Health Center physician, OR (2) only if using the
UMA Express Care service during hours that Hudson
is closed. Accordia/Anthem has informed UMA that
they will not pay for health care services unless
one of the above conditions is met. Therefore,
OU-HCOM students with OU student insurance must go to
Hudson Health Center first during their open hours.
Parks Hall receptionists have been instructed NOT to
give an appointment unless they are assured that
OU-HCOM students have been to Hudson Health Center
and have a referral in hand OR unless the student is
making an Express Care
appointment during the times Hudson is closed.
Students who are not covered by
the OU Student Health Insurance plan may go to the
UMA
for care without referral from Hudson Health Center.
Family members of students may be
seen at UMA, as Hudson Health Center does not
treat dependents (unless, of course, the dependent
is also an Ohio University student).
Physicians are often asked by
students/patients for medical treatment/advice in
the hallway and administrative offices. This is not
an appropriate way to provide medical care. This
type of behavior is discouraged. These individuals
should be referred to the University Osteopathic
Medical Center or Hudson Health Center for an
appointment.
