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.
