- IU Health Center
Tenth St. and N. Jordan
855-4011
Hours: Monday-Friday 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m. when classes are in session. Special
hours apply during semester breaks and holidays.
As a division of Student Affairs, the Health Center sees helping IU students
to make the most of their educational opportunities as a primary goal. If
you have a health problem of any kind or want to develop a healthier lifestyle,
the Health Center is available to help you. All students who are currently
enrolled for one or more credit hours are eligible to use the Health Center.
Spouses of enrolled students and their dependents aged 12 years or older may
also use the center's services.
A health fee appears on the bursar's bill each semester for students enrolled
in more than 3 on-campus credit hours. Eligible students taking fewer than
3 credit hours may opt to pay the health fee at the Health Center up to one
week after the beginning of each semester. The health fee provides some free
benefits and entitles eligible students to discounted charges for medical
care. Payment is appreciated at the time of the visit, and may be made by
cash, check, MasterCard, Visa, or Discover; or, the charges may be directly
transferred to the Office of the Bursar. Any unpaid charges will be transferred
to the Bursar's office within 30 days. In order to contain costs, the Health
Center cannot accept responsibility for filing insurance claims or for negotiating
a settlement on a disputed claim. The itemized statement provided when the
bill is paid can be submitted for insurance reimbursement.
The Health Center is conveniently located across from the Main Library. It
is within walking distance of most residence halls and accessible by several
bus lines. There is free patient parking 20 feet from the north entrance,
which is barrier-free for those with mobility impairments.
Medical Services provided by the Health Center include appointments
for medical care with physicians, adult-care nurse practitioners, and gynecology
(GYN) nurse practitioners.
The physician staff includes board-certified family practice physicians and
specialists in internal medicine, sports medicine, and orthopedics. The center
also offers a walk-in clinic for medical care when a problem is urgent or
an appointment is not available. Other services include laboratory tests;
X rays; gynecological services; immunizations and allergy shots; physical
therapy; an eye clinic to treat infections and injuries; and a pharmacy that
can fill prescriptions written by Health Center physicians or a student's
personal physician. The information telephone number is 855-4011.
Checking out Counseling and Psychological Services (CaPS)
doesn’t mean you're crazy. Depression, anxiety, difficulties in interpersonal
relationships, feelings of inadequacy, sexual issues, and problems of functioning
in school are some of the concerns students often need to address through
counseling. At CaPS, you can discuss any kind of concern confidentially with
a counselor to enhance psychological growth and increase problem-solving skills.
CaPS offers individual counseling, group counseling, couples counseling, and
psychiatric consultation. Typically, short-term interventions are emphasized.
Individuals interested in longer-term individual psychotherapy may be referred
to other resources. For an appointment call 855-5711. CaPS’s Walk-In
Clinic, on the fourth floor of the Health Center, is available weekdays 8
a.m.–4:30 p.m. for emergencies.
The Sexual Assault Crisis Service (SACS), also on the Health
Center's fourth floor, provides education, crisis intervention, and individual
and group counseling to victims of sexual assault and to their families and
friends. The service is free and available to any member of the university
community. To reach the crisis line, call 855-8900; counselors are available
around the clock. For general information, call 855-5711 weekdays between
8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
The Division of Health
and Wellness Education offers a wide variety of health education activities
to students, staff, and faculty. The goal of this division in the Health Center
is to improve the quality of life of the campus community through education
and risk reduction activities. Small-group sessions and workshops are offered
to students at no charge on such topics as sports nutrition, HIV education,
injury prevention, sexually transmitted disease, sexuality, weight loss, GYN
and birth control updates, fitness assessment, and dietary management. Note:
There is a charge for cholesterol screening. Individualized health services
or classes for Fitness Testing & Consultation, Nutrition Counseling, Smoking
