<strong>The</strong> USA Student Health Center (SHC) is staffed with a team of physicians, nurse practitioners,<br />
registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and clerical personnel dedicated to providing quality<br />
medical and educational services to students.<br />
All currently enrolled students are eligible for treatment in the SHC. As a courtesy, the SHC<br />
will submit claims to insurance carriers on behalf of students. Students are encouraged to check<br />
with their insurance carrier to confirm the benefit guidelines and to ensure that the charges will<br />
be covered. We strongly recommend that all students have health insurance. <strong>The</strong> University<br />
sponsors a United Healthcare health insurance plan that is specifically designed for USA students<br />
and is available for purchase.<br />
<strong>The</strong> services offered in the Student Health Center are the same as in any family medicine practice.<br />
<strong>The</strong> SHC provides treatment for a variety of medical conditions as well as physical examinations,<br />
sports medicine, immunizations, women’s health and health education.<br />
Laboratory testing is offered in the clinic and by reference laboratory to assist in properly diagnosing<br />
and treating students. Radiology services are available by referral through the Student<br />
Health Center. Also, the SHC offers sexual assault service. Students can call (251) 460-7151 during<br />
regular office hours. Office hours are MWF 8-5 and TTH 9-5.<br />
<strong>The</strong> University of South Alabama requires that all students born after 1956 must provide proof<br />

dose must have been after 1980 and at least one of the doses must have been an MMR.<br />
