Health Service

 

The  Health Services Department is under the coordination of Campus Health Coordinator. We offer emergent care through a paramedicine approach. Our EMS department provides care on a walk-in basis or in response to emergencies when summoned by Campus Safety EMS. We never charge students for office visits or when we respond to emergencies. We also assist students in coordinating care with local health organizations and help navigate any questions they may have about their insurance.  If students have any needs or questions, the Health Services office hours are Monday through Friday from 9 am to 4pm and the direct office phone number is 847-628-2465. If emergencies occur after hours, please reach out directly to Campus Safety at 847-875-4392. Emails regarding health-related concerns or insurance questions can be sent to Healthservices@judsonu.edu

Student Health Insurance is required for all undergraduate traditional students and graduate architecture students. An annual health insurance waiver and insurance card are required to be filed every year as an undergraduate student to opt out of the student insurance policy with Wellfleet Insurance. No cards or waivers are accepted after the start of the school year and under no circumstances are they accepted in the wellness center at any time.   The insurance charges will be removed once the waiver has been verified and approved by the insurance company and this can take up to 5 to 7 business days.

Information from WELLFLEET INSURANCE
How to File Athletic Injury Claims to Wellfleet:
Athletic Trainers are responsible for completing their portion of the Athletic Injury Claim form
in  the  event  of  a  sport  injury.  Student  athletes  are  responsible  for  making  sure  all  
medical providers have insurance information needed to submit a bill. When talking to your 
healthcare provider, please provide them with your personal family insurance information first. 
Next, make sure to let your medical providers know that you also have athletic insurance provided 
by your College/University,  which  is  administered  by  the  Wellfleet  Group  and  provide  them 
 the following information:
 
1.       All claims related to an Athletic Injury should be mailed to:
Wellfleet Group, LLC PO Box 15369
Springfield, MA 01115-5369
Fax# 413-747-8418
Email: sports@wellfleetinsurance.com
2.       If your medical provider will not send a bill to Wellfleet, try to obtain a copy of the 
itemized bill (CMS-1500 or UB-04)  or dental bill(s) from the provider.   The itemized bill(s)  
must include:
•     Provider’s name and address;
•     Provider’s Tax ID Number;
•     Diagnosis Code (ICD-10);
•     Date of service;
•     Type(s) of service or procedure code (CPT code);
•     Provider cost for each procedure.
3.       The Sport Accident Plan pays for covered expenses that are in excess of other valid and 
collectible insurance. If the athlete is covered by other insurance, ALL BILLS MUST FIRST BE  
SUBMITTED  TO  THE  ATHLETE’S  PRIMARY  INSURANCE  COMPANY  FOR PAYMENT before Wellfleet can 
determine payment.
 
4.           Once their primary insurance has paid and/or rejected the claim, the Explanation of 
Benefits (EOB) will also need to be submitted with the bills.
 
5.       Send a copy of the itemized bill and EOB to Wellfleet.
 
6.         Please do not submit balance due, balance forward or past due statements for payment. 
Sending in these types of statements will only delay payment. Only an itemized bill from the 
provider will be acceptable for payment.
