IUPUI

IUPUI Health Services will treat and provide follow-up care for work-related illnesses and injuries. The HR Policy Manuals for full-time appointed staff and full-time service maintenance staff include policies for on-the-job injuries.

The monitoring of blood pressure is a key component of cardiovascular health. Elevated blood pressure is usually unrecognized unless measured, but can lead to problems such as stroke, heart attack, kidney damage, and changes to small vessels, such as the eyes. IUPUI employees may visit the clinic for free blood pressure checks without appointment.

IUPUI Health Services also provides contagious disease checks for pinkeye and unexplained rashes to determine if the employee is infectious. Actual treatment is to be provided by the employee's primary care provider.

Employees are expected to visit their primary care provider for injuries that are not work-related. If an injury is determined to be non-occupational, the employee will be billed for services. If a primary care provider places work restrictions on the employee, the employee's manager may require the employee to visit the clinic. Insurance claims will not be filed.

*Work-related illnesses or injuries are billed to Worker’s Compensation.

IUPUI Health Services will work with IUPUI faculty, staff and students to determine the care that you may need based on your travel destination. The travel clinic is not open to the general public. A consultation fee will be charged. Payment is expected at the time of service; cash, Visa and Mastercard are the only accepted sources of payment. The CDC guidelines are used for pre-trip and post-trip care. Immunizations provided include, but are not limited to:

• Cholera
• Hepatitis A
• Hepatitis B
• Japanese Encephalitis-DISCONTINUED
