About the Service
Health Services can collect specimens for common laboratory testing, including STI testing. A valid order from a physician is required, so please call us to schedule an appointment with a nurse for a screening and to complete lab work.
Occasionally, lab orders require special handling that can only be done at a local laboratory and cannot be processed on campus by Health Services. However, we can send a copy of your private health insurance card to the lab selected in advance so they can properly bill for off-campus lab work.
Who can use: Enrolled Trinity students
How to access: Schedule an appointment by calling us
Cost: Varies depending on the test performed (call to discuss)
Confidentiality: We are required by law to maintain the confidentiality of health information that identifies you.
Prepare for Your Consultation
Before your appointment with the physician and nurse practitioner, you should:
- locate your insurance card
- create a list of your current medications or prescriptions
- think about any food allergies or other information about yourself that may be medically relevant
Patient Responsibilities
