3. Students who require extended medical care may be hospitalized or sent home until they fully recover. It may become necessary for a student to withdraw from school if illness or recovery hinders his or her ability to complete school requirements. See Attendance policy under Academic section. D. Medication 1. Students may keep a small supply of over-the-counter medication (both over-the-counter and prescription) in their dorm rooms. However, all medication must be in its own separate, original container. For example, ibuprofen must not be placed in the same bottle along with prescription medication. 2. Prescription medication a. Students may keep prescription medication in their room. A lock box is highly recommended. b. There is to be absolutely no sharing of prescription medication with other students. E. Health Forms If you need a copy of your health form sent to another school, please submit a written note to Mrs. Fran Ingersoll to have it sent either by fax or by mail. F. Sexually Transmitted Diseases In the event that a student is discovered to have the HIV virus (the cause of AIDS) or any other sexually transmitted disease, every effort will be made by the administration to determine a course of action that will be in the best interest of the student and the Bible Institute community. In all cases, confidentiality will be adhered to as permissible by law. G. Student Accident Plan 1. All full-time students are eligible for coverage under the Student Accident Plan and will be enrolled in the Plan regardless of any other coverage they may have personally or have provided by their parents. The cost of the Plan is $45 per semester and is automatically included in their student fees as billed by the Business Office. Premiums are non-refundable. Coverage under the plan terminates when the plan terminates or when the student is no longer enrolled, whichever occurs first. 2. The Student Accident Plan is a secondary policy. Therefore, all claims must first be submitted to the student’s primary health insurance carrier. Any unpaid portions or deductible may then be submitted under the Student Accident Plan. Policy guidelines for eligible charges and claims procedures are outlined in the brochure. Because this is a student accident plan, COBRA continuation is not available. 3. In the event of an accident: a. If at the Bible Institute, report it immediately to your RD or to the Student Life Deans so that proper treatment can be administered or approved and, if applicable, an accident report can be filled out. b. If away from the Bible Institute, consult a physician and follow his or her advice. Treatment of any accidental injury must begin within 72 hours of the injury in order to be considered for coverage. You must report it to the Student Life Deans immediately upon returning to the Bible Institute where assistance will be provided in completing the required forms. 4. Students must submit claims to the Contract Administrator with the assistance of Mrs. Fran Ingersoll. This will result in reimbursement to the student or direct payment to the service provider. If there is dual coverage, the student must first submit to their primary health insurance carrier but may also submit to the Student Accident Plan with the assistance of Mrs. Fran Ingersoll to have the claim on file within the six-month deadline for secondary coverage. 5. If students provide proper information to the doctor or hospital, most area providers will bill insurance companies directly. It is the student’s responsibility to ask if fees will be billed directly to insurance companies or if they must submit a claim. Written proof of treatment (itemized bills) must be furnished with the claim within six months of the date of treatment in order to be considered for coverage. It is the student’s responsibility to inform providers of this deadline. The claim should provide sufficient information including the student’s name, address and social security number to allow processing of each claim. Additional forms or information may be requested by the insurance company to assist them in this process. 6. The Student Accident Plan does not provide coverage for accidents that occur while students are using skateboards, long boards, razor scooters and variations thereof or self-inflicted injuries. H. Health Campusing Students may be campused to their room at the discretion of the Student Life staff. The purpose of health campusing is to provide the opportunity for students to get needed rest and to benefit from a time of recovery from sickness, especially communicable illness or injury. Students should have a roommate to bring them to-go meals. Students should fill out the health excusal form found on FL Campus Life.
