For Augsburg students who do NOT have insurance, if you have symptoms that you think may be the coronavirus (such as a cough, fever, or shortness of breath), you can contact the People’s Center at 612-332-4973 to discuss next steps. If you are recommended to see a physician at the People’s Center, you can see a physician for a $5 co-pay under the Augsburg contract for uninsured students. Please note that some labwork is covered under the Augsburg contract, and some is not (ask your physician about this).
Further, if you are uninsured, you can contact Health Access MN at 651-645-0215 free for support in applying for state and federal health insurance programs (if you qualify for Medical Assistance, you can receive emergency care and the MA will typically backdate to cover the recent care received).
More information on medical care, as well as resources for coping and mental health support, can be found on the CWC “Coping with the Coronavirus” webpage.
