Annual exams including PAP testing are available by appointment. There is a $35 physical fee posted to the student’s IUP URSA account for this visit. No money is needed at the time of the visit. If the visit includes PAP testing, a specimen is sent to an off-campus lab for processing. We can include the student’s insurance information so that the lab can bill existing health insurance, or it can be sent as a “self-pay” lab test and the student would get a bill from the lab for the processing.
Contraceptive care appointments can be made to determine how to begin contraception. Choices would include monthly oral contraceptive pills, Depo-Provera injections, and the NuvaRing. There is a $10 co-pay posted to the student’s IUP URSA account for this visit. No money is needed at the time of the visit. If a student wished to continue contraceptive care from a previous provider, there is a release of information form that needs to be completed and faxed prior to the visit.
Depo-Provera injections can be given at the Health Service by appointment. There is a $10 co-pay posted to the student’s IUP URSA account for this visit. No money is needed at the time of the visit. If the student has received Depo-Provera from another provider, there is a release of information form that needs to be completed and faxed prior to the visit. The student should allow time to receive the information from the previous provider prior to the Health Service administering their medicine. If the student wants to begin Depo-Provera, they need to make an appointment for contraceptive services and a prescription can be written from IUP to purchase the medicine.
