Each patient is assigned a Primary Care Provider [2] (PCP) and clinic team to promote continuity of care. You may change your Primary Care Provider by giving us a call at any time. Visit our Meet the Staff [3] page to learn more about our providers.
Primary Care Services include wellness and preventive care, injury care and treatment for acute and chronic medical conditions. Examples include:
- Respiratory infections [4] (e.g., cold [4], cough, sore throat, the flu [5])
- Common dermatologic conditions (e.g., acne, rashes, biopsies)
- Injuries and musculoskeletal conditions (e.g., sprains, strains, abrasions)
- Allergies [6]
- Urinary/bladder infections
- Asthma [7]
- Diabetes [8]
- Reproductive and sexual health [9] (including STI's [10], Gyn Exams [11], menstrual concerns)
- High blood pressure
- Stomach/gastrointestinal problems
- Prescriptions [12] for ongoing health conditions (e.g., ADD/ADHD [13], anxiety [14], depression)
- Physical exams (e.g., annual exam, transgender health [15], for study abroad, teaching - CHS does not offer physical exams for DOT purposes [16])
CHS provides some specialty services, some of which may require referral (from the PCP). Examples include Physical Therapy [17], Orthopedics [18] and Travel Clinic [19]. Additional charges [20] 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 [21] for the most up-to-date information regarding Campus Health's in-network status with specific insurance plans.
