Health, Wellness & Counseling Centers

The Health & Wellness Center and the Counseling Center are provided to support students' physical and emotional well-being. Both are located in the Health Pavilion.

Health & Wellness Center

The Health & Wellness Center has three full-time nurse practitioners and one part-time physician to provide care. Please call 317-497-6500 or follow this link www.mywebahead.com/uindy to schedule an appointment. Office visits and medical records in the Health & Wellness Center are always confidential and are protected by professional standards.

Full-time day students can take advantage of Health & Wellness Center services, as can any student living in campus housing or any clinical student who has a completed Student Health file. Students who don't fall under this umbrella will be referred to local medical centers for treatment. The Health & Wellness Center will also see UIndy employees and their immediate family (children must be 12 years or older).

Student Health Records

The Student Health Record gives our staff permission to assess and treat for illnesses, injuries, emergencies, and medical consultations. Your Student Health Record must be completed (immunizations updated) and on file on or before your summer registration date. Our staff can assist you. UIndy requires records of all full-time students, students living in campus housing, and clinical students.

Health insurance

The Health & Wellness Center is a fee-for-service office. This means that while the office visits are free for students, nominal fees are charged for TB skin tests, medications, testing and treatments. The Health & Wellness Center does not accept insurance, but students can request a receipt that can be turned in to their insurance company for reimbursement. Payment is expected at the time of service, so students need to come in prepared to pay. The Health & Wellness Center accepts cash and debit/credit cards.

Due to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) implementation in January 2014, the insurance vendor at UIndy is no longer offering voluntary student insurance. It is the student's responsibility to investigate insurance options through their parents' insurance plan or the ACA's marketplace/exchanges.

Hours

Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. (closed 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. for lunch)

Counseling Center

The counseling center provides mental health services, consultation, and outreach to support the emotional well-being of UIndy students. We also offer consultation and training to UIndy faculty and staff, and supervision and training to doctoral graduate students. We are open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern Time). Our services are confidential and provided at no additional cost. For more information about our center, please view the information on the Student Counseling Center website. Please contact us at 317-788-5015 or studentcounseling@uindy.edu if you have any questions. 

Confidentiality

The Counseling Center adheres to a strict policy of confidentiality, following the ethical guidelines set forth by the American Psychological Association. Information is withheld from anyone outside the Health Services staff without informed consent of the client. Exceptions are made to confidentiality guidelines in the case of specific, life-threatening emergencies.

Crisis

In the event of a crisis that cannot wait until your scheduled appointment, the Counseling Center staff will do its utmost to assist you in any way possible. The staff works closely with local psychiatrists and hospitals. If a counselor is not available, please call the suicide/crisis unit of St. Vincent Hospital Stress Center at 317-388-4800 or the Adult and Child Mental Health Center at 317-882-5122.
