Sports Medicine & Physical Therapy

---

The Sports Medicine Clinic (SMC) assists in maintaining our students’ active lifestyles. This area of the Student Health Center consists of the Sports Medicine evaluation and treatment area as well as the Physical Therapy Department.

Appointments are also available by referral from a Primary Care, Acute Care, or Sports Medicine Clinic Provider.

Appointment Attire

Students with an appointment in the Sports Medicine/Physical Therapy department should bring or wear comfortable clothing, preferably shorts, to facilitate evaluation and treatment of injuries and should allow an hour or more for appointments.

Charges

Sports Medicine Clinic: Services of the Sports Medicine Clinic provider are covered by the semester’s Student Programs and Services Fee. However, there are nominal charges for labs, x-rays, injections/immunizations, and durable medical equipment, like crutches and braces. Only students with the University sponsored Student Health Insurance plan will have their insurance billed directly.

Physical Therapy (PT) Department: A limited number of Physical Therapy appointments are available for each diagnosis and treatment plan. Patients requiring more than the allotted number of visits for their condition will be referred to an outside therapy center for further care.

All services of the Physical Therapy Department are billable services. Students with the University sponsored Student Health Insurance plan will have their insurance billed directly. Students with other health insurance, where third party billing is unavailable through the Student Health Center, and students without health insurance, are assessed from the following Physical Therapy fees:

• PT Exam Fees
  • Initial PT Evaluation: $50.00
  • PT Re-evaluation: $35.00
• Therapy Fees
  • Electrical Stimulation (unattended): $12.00
  • Paraffin bath: $12.00
  • Whirlpool: $12.00
  • UltraSound (each 15 minutes): $12.00
  • Therapeutic Exercises (each 15 minutes): $25.00
  • Manual Therapy (each 15 minutes): $25.00

Students may contact the PT Department to inquire about an estimate of cumulative charges for their condition. Students with health insurance, other than the University sponsored Student Health Insurance plan, often find it financially advantageous to receive a referral to an outside therapy center. Referrals may be arranged through the SMC.
