HEALTH SERVICES MERCY CLINIC The Mercy Clinic on-campus office in Spartan Village is a great option for services regarding sick/acute visits, personal wellness visits, vaccinations, chronic disease care, and mental screenings. Appointments are available Monday through Thursday from 1 pm to 5 pm. Please schedule your appointment through My Mercy, outside the office, or by calling 314-364-3970.
URGENT CARE If the Mercy Clinic on campus is unable to treat you, urgent care is a common alternative that can save you money. Although these are off campus, most urgent cares are able to complete necessary medical assistance such as stitches or X-rays. Before going to urgent care, make sure that they accept your insurance.
EMERGENCY ROOM If a medical condition is life or limb-threatening or involves something more serious, please go to the emergency room. The ER and hospital visits, such as specialists, often are costly but sometimes necessary. Not all off-campus medical practices accept every insurance, so please check providers before a medical visit. Please research your options beforehand and have a plan in place in case a medical issue arises.
HEALTH INSURANCE F-1 international students are enrolled in a mandatory group health insurance plan. The cost is added directly to students’ billing account. Students should review the New International Student Canvas Shell and their MBU student email for additional information and details.
