Message from Wellfleet’s Pharmacy Department: There is currently an issue affecting 8/1/22 effective date members that renewed for 22/23. Their updated eligibility from Wellfleet is not being loaded into the Express Scripts system. This is not affecting any new members for the 22/23 plan year. UHS is monitoring this Wellfleet system issue so that we can give updates to our students as we receive them from Wellfleet.
Student Health Benefit Plan (SHBP) Waiver: The SHBP waiver is now available. Submit the waiver by September 19 to opt out of the UMass Student health insurance. Due to the high volume of waivers received at this time, processing is taking longer than usual. Wellfleet and the UHS Patient Services team are working hard to get these processed as quickly as possible.
Patient Parking Lot Reopened: UHS Patient Lot 72 has been reopened. Lot 62 is no longer available for UHS patients. Patients should register their plate information immediately upon entrance to UHS. Parking in Lot 72 is restricted to the duration of the patient’s appointment.
COVID-19 Testing: Beginning 8/1, COVID-19 PCR testing can be accessed at UHS by UMass students, faculty & staff and members of their households.
For same-day and future appointments, call 413-577-5101. For same-day acute care, you can walk in when we are open. For 24-hour health advice, call our Nurse Triage Line: 413-577-5229. In an emergency, call 911.
