AFTER HOURS CARE
|
If you have a blood or body fluid exposure or other emergent condition, report directly to an in-network emergency room. See www.studentinsurance.com for a list of in-network facilities and providers for the Pearce and Pearce student-group plan. There is an additional $150 dollar co-pay for all non-exposure emergency room visits.
If you have a medical problem and questions as to whether you need to be seen in an emergency department after hours, you can call 706-721-4588 and ask to speak with the Family Medicine resident on call.
If you are covered by the student-group insurance plan (Pearce and Pearce) and it is after clinic hours, you do not need a referral to be seen by an outside provider. You will be responsible for any uncovered expenses (the deductible and 20% co-insurance). Make sure your provider is in-network to maximize the reimbursement from the insurance company. Please note urgent care centers typically charge less than an emergency room.
If Student Health is closed during normal hours (Monday -Friday 8:30AM - 5:00 PM) and you want to be seen at MCG Family Medicine Clinic, you can contact Tammy Harris at 706-721-9586 or Melvine Newman at 706-721-3930 (please identify yourself as a MCG student).
