Medicines Health Services will provide some over-the-counter medicines to students on an as needed basis. There are also a limited amount of prescription meds available at Health Services for the physicians to dispense. The student may pay for these by cash, check or charging to their student account. We do not bill insurance companies for meds nor are we able to accept prescription cards. Medical records Medical records are maintained by Health Services and are strictly confidential. In accordance with professional standards, provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 and the other relevant privacy laws, the health services staff is unable to discuss with a third party (including a parent) anything in the student’s medical record unless the student signs a detailed release authorizing the release of health information. Payment of medical services Students are responsible for payment of all medical services outside health services. Payment for those services will be required at the time of service. It is also important to have medical insurance information available. The student is responsible for determining which outside health-care provider the student may or may not see under their insurance plan. There may be a fee attached to some of the tests run at health services that can be paid for by cash, check, or charged to the student’s account. Health Services will run tests ordered by our physician or any other medical professional. Prescription drugs If a student has a prescription that needs to be filled, there are several pharmacies in close proximity to the Butler campus. One of those pharmacies will deliver on campus to the Health Services for the student to pick up (There is a fee to deliver on campus). To receive that benefit, the medicine must be paid for in advance. Health Services physicians do not prescribe or write prescriptions for antidepressants, ADHD meds, etc. Those students who will be in need of those types of meds will need to talk with their prescribing MD. Health Education and Outreach The Health Education and Outreach office is located in the Health and Recreation Complex. The health education office addresses critical issues affecting college students by coordinating the peer education programs (PAWS and GEAR), providing direct programming and consultation to students in areas related to health and wellness and by coordinating the Victim Advocate Program. Butler University’s Victim Advocate Program offers support and information for victims of sexual assault, interpersonal violence and harassment by trained staff members. Support is available 24-hours a day from a Victim Advocate by calling (317) 910-5572. The coordinator for Health Education and Outreach can be contacted at (317) 940-8311. Please visit www.butler.edu/health-education/ for more information about programs and services coordinated through this office. Health Officer The vice president for student affairs or designee serves as the University health officer. In consultation with appropriate medical and University personnel, he/she may direct the following at his/her sole discretion: • He/She may require any student to withdraw from the University at any time if the vice president determines the student’s condition may constitute a hazard to him/herself, any other students or the campus community. • He/She may require any student to submit to a psychological/psychiatric assessment to determine whether that student’s behavior may constitute a hazard to her/himself, any other student, or the campus community 49
• He/She may require any former student or prospective student to obtain and submit a medical clearance to the University before being admitted or readmitted to the University where the vice president determines this is in the best interest of the student, the University or the campus community. • He/She may require any student to withdraw from the University if the vice president determines the student likely has a medical condition that interferes with their attendance or progress at the University. At the vice president’s sole discretion he/she may recommend voluntary withdrawal to the student as an alternative to requiring the student to withdrawal. • He/She may enforce compliance with the Infectious Waste Law. Identification Cards Every registered Butler student must carry a Butler ID card. Cards are issued Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m., at BUPD, 525 W. Hampton Drive. ID cards have a number of purposes: to check out library books; to access some facilities; to obtain student discounts and to receive food services. There is a replacement fee of $20 for a lost or damaged card. A stolen card will be replaced at no charge, provided the student files a police report.
