Health Care Tips for
Summer Program Participants
How to use University Health Service (UHS):
- U-M summer program participants ages 10 and older are eligible to use UHS.
- For some services, UHS will bill eligible insurance. For other services or products (for example, medications), campers must pay at time of service.
- Program staff must accompany the minor to UHS.
- Bring the participants’ insurance information, credit card authorization, parent/ guardian’s consent for treatment, medical history form and medical follow-up report.
For urgent medical needs (e.g. infection, high/persistent fever, pain, injury, dehydration, etc.):
- Call whenever possible, because our nurses may be able to provide medical advice by phone that could save a trip to UHS or the emergency room
- When UHS is open, call 734-764-8320, or you can go to UHS
- When UHS is closed, call 866-204-1082 for advice about self-care or seeking care
