H1N1/09 (Swine Flu) Influenza Campus Protocol
Student Health and Wellness has had its first of two seasonal influenza vaccination clinics and will offer another within the first half of November. There are 100 additional doses available. These are free to the campus community, though staff, faculty and their family members are asked to donate something toward the vaccination cost. The H1N1 (swine) influenza vaccine still is not yet available to our community, but as soon as it is known when we can administer the vaccine, notification will be made to the entire campus community. Priority categories for the H1N1 vaccine are pregnant women, children age 6 months to 24 years, health care workers, and anyone with medical conditions that would put them at risk for complications to the flu, i.e. asthma, diabetes and other immune suppressive disorders.

Health Insurance Issues
If residents have questions regarding the Bollinger student health insurance, they should first go to the treasurer’s office (505-984-6089). If the question is about seeking a referral or the treasurer’s office couldn’t help, they can come to see Terri in the Student Health Office. Claim forms are available in the treasurer’s office, the SHO and online at http://www.bollingercolleges.com/sjcsanta. If a student seeks care out outside the SHO; i.e. ER, Urgent Care, or specialist; the student must file a claim form with Bollinger in order for payment to occur. Students insured through Bollinger wishing to seek specialist care, must first be seen in the SHO where a referral can be made and a claim form signed. Bollinger will not pay for care provided by an outside provider unless a student seeks a referral from the SHO first. A claim form signed by the nurse practitioner must be obtained and filed with Bollinger. If you need assistance with claims or have coverage questions, call Bollinger College Claims at 1-800-526-1379.
