IUPUI

All IUPUI students may visit IUPUI Health Services on a fee-for-service basis.

IUPUI Health Services are located on the first floor of Coleman Hall (CF on the campus map). Coleman Hall is located at 1140 W. Michigan Street, between Ball Residence Hall and Long Hospital and across from the Dental School.

IUPUI Health Services is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. On Thursday, our hours are 9:00am to 5:00 p.m.

Appointments are recommended, but not required. Walk-ins and same-day appointments will be accommodated, if the schedule permits. Our last appointment is at 4:00 p.m.

A nurse is available for triage and will determine if your need is urgent. We try to make appointments for the same day whenever possible. If you need to be seen by the Doctor or Nurse Practitioner, you will be seen as quickly as possible.

Download the Authorization to Release Medical Records (PDF) form. Complete it and bring it to the clinic. Charges may apply - please see the clinic policy regarding medical record copying and requests.

An appointment must be made with a physician or nurse practitioner in the clinic. If you have had a pap smear within the last 12 months, please obtain a copy of the result and bring it to your appointment.

Yes, students visiting IUPUI Health Services will have to pay for their visits, vaccinations, medications, and lab/X-ray fees. Lab and X-ray fees are billed separately.

The cost of your visit will depend on the services you receive. Office visit fees range from $30 for a nurse visit to up to $150 for a physician or nurse practitioner visit.

IUPUI Health Services will file insurance claims for medical students with Chickering insurance. Medical students are those studying to be medical doctors; this category does not include other programs that are within the IU School of Medicine.

IUPUI Health Services will not file insurance claims for any other students. Students outside of the above-mentioned groups with Chickering insurance or students with other types of insurance must pay for their visit at the time of service. A walk-out statement will be provided for students to file with their insurance for reimbursement upon request.

IUPUI Health Services will accept cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard, and the JagTag.

You do not need a referral if you have Chickering insurance. Ask your healthcare provider if you are insured under another plan.

Many universities charge a mandatory student health fee to lower the costs of student health visits or to provide a number of free visits to each student during a semester. IUPUI currently does not have a student health fee, but IUPUI Health Services hope that this policy will change in the future. It is our belief that a mandatory student health fee would allow more students to access on-campus health services at a lower cost than the current system.

Many universities require students living on campus to show proof of meningitis vaccination. IUPUI Health Services currently recommends that all students living on campus receive the meningitis vaccination.

1. All students should have received a Tetanus/Diptheria vaccination within the past 10 years. Most Tetanus vaccines include Diptheria.
2. Residential students (living on campus) must show proof of immunity to measles, mumps and rubella. Two vaccinations are needed for those born after January 1, 1957. If born before that date, a history of having the illnesses is accepted. Proof of immunity also includes lab tests that demonstrate acceptable antibody levels to the illnesses. The form to submit is downloadable.

IUPUI clinical programs (medicine, dentistry, nursing, etc.) determine vaccination guidelines for students admitted to their programs. Currently, these guidelines include:

1. Proof of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccination—2 doses
2. It is strongly recommended that before beginning clinical experiences, clinical students receive the Hepatitis B vaccination (3 doses). It is required of medical students.

International students will need Tuberculosis surveillance.
