Confidentiality and HIPAA

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) requires that we make all of our patients aware of our Confidentiality Policy.  This policy describes how medical information about you may be used and disclosed and how you can get access to your medical information.


Excuses for Missing Class

Students are expected to communicate with their instructors about reasons for missed classes. Medical excuses are not provided to students except in special circumstances.


Insurance for Services Off Campus

Each semester a $75 Student Health Fee is included in your tuition which makes you eligible to use most of our services for FREE. Some of our services, such as a TB Skin test, require we charge a fee for the cost of replacement supplies.

Students requiring off-campus health care including physician appointments, tests, and prescriptions are responsible for their own transportation, fees, and charges. If you need health insurance coverage we recommend the Arkansas Health Insurance Marketplace through my Arkansas Insurance.
