SCHEDULING APPOINTMENTS
All patients must present a valid UCA ID when requesting services.
Most appointments can be made by accessing the Patient Portal. If you do not see a specific reason listed for your visit, please contact our office at (501) 450-3136 so we can assist you with your appointment needs. An appointment reminder will be sent to your UCA email address for your convenience.
If you decide you cannot keep your appointment, please allow someone else the opportunity to seek care. We ask that you call our office before your scheduled visit so we can find a better time to help you.

NO SHOW FEE
A $20 No Show fee will be charged to your student account if you miss a scheduled appointment.
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. Enrollment information can be found on their website.
