Appointments, Services, and Fees

HaverHealth Portal

  • Appointments are required to be seen at Health Services. No walk-in appointments or scheduling will be occurring during COVID-19 pandemic.

  • LabCorp does bill insurance for laboratory testing.
  • Student Health Services does not provide class excuse notes. Appointments should not be scheduled for the purpose of attaining a class excuse.
  • Students under 18 years of age must have a parent/legal guardian sign a Consent for Treatment prior to their visit.
  • Effective 1/1/2023, if patients do not cancel or reschedule appointments with at least 24 hours notice, we may assess a $25.00 "no-show" charge to your student account.

  • Students on campus are encouraged to take advantage of free condoms provided by the Montgomery County Office of Public Health (OPH). Condoms are located at Health Services, the DC, and Campus Safety. If you are interested in ordering your own condom supply call 610-278-5117 or contacting OPH directly.
Sick/ Injury Appointment

All matriculated students who are currently attending classes at Haverford College may use services at Health Services. At Health Services trained medical professionals provide preventative care and treat acute illnesses and injuries. Most student illnesses can be diagnosed and treated via a telehealth appointment visit or an in-person visit.

Student interested in specialty care within the Philadelphia area will be referred to contact their insurance to verify “in-network” coverage.

Lab Services
  • Health Services contracts with LabCorp (CLIA certified) for laboratory testing.
  • Patients are permitted to bring their own lab requisition or orders from external healthcare providers. Health Services does strongly encourage students to upload the lab order to their HaverHealth Portal for our staff to review prior to your visit.
  • LabCorp will bill your health insurance directly. All insurance is billed as "in-network" by LabCorp. Your health insurance company will determine coverage and payment, as well as the amount for which you are responsible, such as copay or deductible, if any.
  • Before you have lab tests performed, please make sure your insurance information is up to date.
  • Once your insurer has processed your claim, you will receive an explanation of benefits (EOB) from your insurer informing you of the amount it will pay for your laboratory services.
  • The EOB is not an invoice, but it may indicate that a balance remains which is your responsibility. That balance may include your copayment, deductible, or other costs outlined in your terms of coverage. If you have a question about your EOB or your terms of coverage, contact your insurance company.
  • Your insurer will inform Labcorp about any balance you owe, and we will send you a bill for that amount.
  • If you are covered by more than one insurance plan, your primary insurer will process your claim first, and then any remaining balance will be billed to the secondary insurer. If a balance that is your responsibility remains after the secondary insurer has paid its portion of the claim, Labcorp will send you a bill for the balance due.
Travel Health

After scheduling your appointment, login to your HaverHealth Portal to complete the International Travel Health Questionnaire.

     Auto Accidents & Student Worker Injuries

    For any serious, life-threatening medical emergency, call 911 immediately.

    • We do not see patients for any motor vehicle accident related injuries. Students should proceed to a local emergency room or urgent care for any motor vehicle accident related injuries.
    • We do not see patients for student employment injuries. If a student employee is injured, that individual is responsible for notifying their supervisor immediately, who will in turn notify the Office of Human Resources as soon as possible. In an emergency, the injured or ill student employee may visit any hospital, or medical provider, to obtain emergency, or urgent, medical care.

     LIFTFAR

    LIFTFAR was established in 2016 to help students deal with costs that arise from unexpected and emergency situations. As of spring 2020, this includes unanticipated financial constraints associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, including travel costs, laptops and internet access, technology platforms, expanded physical and mental health coverage, and more.

    The following providers are not endorsed by the college. They are only suggestions for care. Please call your insurance to check if the following are "in network".
