On March 21, Stevens announced that they will now be providing on-campus testing for students at the Student Wellness Center, located next to North Building. The available tests include:
· Blood Draws (routine labs or diagnostic labs)
· Pregnancy Testing
· Q-Gold TB Testing, a blood test that detects tuberculosis-causing bacteria
· Antibody Titers, a blood test that identifies the presence of antibodies in the blood, such as for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR)
· Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) Testing
· Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Testing
· Viral and Bacterial Cultures, which can detect strep throat or influenza
· Urine Screens and Cultures
Additionally, students are still able to schedule PCR Tests for covid here.
Stevens Student Health Services are providing the testing through Labcorp, a global diagnostics service. While students should check with their insurance provider to confirm they are in-network with Labcorp prior to taking a test, there are no upfront charges for the services at Student Health Services. Students’ individual insurance will be billed by Lapcorp, and they will be required to show an insurance card prior to the performance of a test. There will be no fees charged from Student Health Services.
Along with performing tests that were ordered from Stevens Health Services providers, Stevens Health services will accept prescriptions from outside providers. If a student has to receive an available type of routine lab testing, they will now be able to complete the test without leaving campus.
Earlier this year, the new director of student health services, Dr. Kyle Weisholtz, spoke about how implementing this on-campus testing was one of her top initiatives. She noted that this is something the Student Government Association has been advocating for because it eliminates the need for students to leave campus for routine medical tests.
To utilize these services, students should make an appointment by calling Student Health Services at 201-216-5678.
