Primary Care Services include wellness and preventive care, injury care and treatment for acute and chronic medical conditions. Examples include:
- Respiratory infections [2] (e.g., cold [2], cough, sore throat, the flu [3])
- Common dermatologic conditions (e.g., acne, rashes, biopsies)
- Injuries and musculoskeletal conditions (e.g., sprains, strains, abrasions)
- Allergies [4]
- Urinary/bladder infections
- Asthma [5]
- Diabetes [6]
- Reproductive and sexual health [7] (including STI's [8], Gyn Exams [9], menstrual concerns)
- High blood pressure
- Stomach/gastrointestinal problems
- Prescriptions [10] for ongoing health conditions (e.g., ADD/ADHD [11], anxiety [12], depression)
- Physical exams (e.g., annual exam, transgender health [13], for study abroad, teaching)
Each patient is assigned a Primary Care Provider [14] (PCP) to promote continuity of care. Primary Care Providers work as a team to provide flexibility and convenient appointment times so you may also see other providers for your acute needs.
CHS provides some specialty services, some of which may require referral (from the PCP). Examples include Physical Therapy [15], Orthopedics [16] and Travel Clinic [17]. Additional charges [18] may apply. We offer referrals for off-site specialized health care needs that are beyond the scope of our practice.
CHS is an in-network provider for the health insurance plans used by the vast majority of students and post-docs at UNC. See our page on processing insurance claims [19] for the most up-to-date information regarding Campus Health's in-network status with specific insurance plans.
