Vaccine/Lab visits

• These appointments are usually with a medical assistants work alongside the nurse practitioners in the SHC. More information on medical assistants.
• These appointments are for certain vaccines, TB screens, blood tests for CON/DUS, or if directed by your nurse practitioner. This will not be a nurse practitioner visit.

If you need labs done that were ordered by an outside provider we recommend going directly to a lab such as Labcorp. Nearby locations include:

• Nordstom Medical Tower, 1229 Madison St , 6th floor, #610, Seattle, WA 98104 (near Swedish First Hill). Schedule an appt now.
• James Tower, 550 17th Ave, 2nd floor, #200, Seattle, WA 98122 (near Swedish Cherry Hill). Schedule an appt now.

1. Arrive on time whether it's in person or via Zoom with forms complete
   It is very important that each patient arrives at their scheduled time with their patient portal forms completed.  If you are late you may need to be rescheduled.  
2. Insurance card
   Enter your insurance information on the patient portal. Upload a copy of the front and back of your insurance card (If you cannot find your insurance name, call the SHC and we will help). It is still a good idea to bring your insurance card with you to every appointment. If you do not have insurance, you are still able to utilize the Health Center services. Please let the receptionist know when you schedule your appointment if you do not have health insurance. 
3. Payment
   All students pay a $5 flat visit fee to see a nurse practitioner. There is not an administrative fee charged to for a Vaccine/Lab only appt. You may have additional costs depending on the services received - you will be informed of the cost prior to the service being provided. To see all the services that carry an additional cost please see Billing & Costs. 
4. Cancelling or rescheduling appointments
   If you are unable to make it to your scheduled appointment, we require 4 hours notice due to the high demand for appointments. If you miss your appointment or don't give appropriate notification it will be considered a Missed Appointment which carries a $20 charge.  You have the option of cancelling your appointment on the patient portal as long as it's more than 4 hours before your appointment.
