| What
to do if you become sick or are injured |
| 1. |
Go
FIRST to the UNT Student Health and Wellness Center (SHWC) for treatment.
Nearly all insurance companies require you to go the SHWC unless it is
closed, you are not in Denton, or the medical condition is an emergency.
|
| 2. |
Carry
your insurance identification card at all times.
|
| 3. |
Claim
deadline: Make your “claim” for Health (medical) Insurance company to
pay your medical expenses within 20 days of the injury or the first
treatment for sickness. The SHWC will help students file their claims.
|
| 4. |
Do
NOT accept public health care. Non-immigrant students jeopardize their
status if they accept any form of free public medical care in the U.S.
including medical care for pregnancy or maternity.
