SBHC Frequently Asked Questions
What is a School-Based Health Center (SBHC)?
SBHCs boost student well-being, attendance, and learning with on-site healthcare. School-Based Health Centers offer affordable, quality medical care, catching issues early to prevent dropouts and keep kids focused. School-Based Health Centers deliver accessible, quality care, leading to fewer tardies, absences, and discipline problems, and ultimately, higher graduation rates. By prioritizing prevention and early intervention, they empower students to stay healthy and thrive. Skip the doctor’s office, not the class! School-Based Health Centers bring essential medical services right to school, meaning quicker care, more time for learning, and fewer missed days. They help students stay healthy and focused, paving the way for success.
What services are provided at a SBHC?
The SBHC brings a mobile medical team to your child’s school campus. Beyond a medical office, the SBHC serves as a comprehensive wellness hub on campus. We offer a full range of health services, including acute care and preventive care from a team of healthcare professionals and admin staff to provide holistic support for students’ well-being.
Who does the SBHC Program Serve?
The SBHC program opens its doors to all students in Caswell County Schools. Imagine the convenience of getting the care you need right at school! The SBHC program makes it easy for students and staff in Caswell County to access essential healthcare services, including checkups, screenings, and more. And guess what? Faculty, staff, and student’s families can also receive care from the SBHC, creating a healthier and happier school environment for everyone.
How is this different than a school nurse?
The SBHC does not change the role of the school nurse. They will continue to provide healthcare services within the school as they currently do. The SBHC provides the same care that you or your child would receive from a doctor’s office.
Is there a charge for services provided by the SBHC?
Yes, services are provided in accordance with the same fee schedule used in our medical center. We accept all insurance including Medicaid, Medicare, and Tricare. Don’t worry, if you don’t have insurance, we offer a sliding fee based on your family’s financial situation. Our sliding fee information can be found HERE.
For a student to participate in SBHC services, we need a parent or guardian’s permission. Just fill out a registration form and tell us about your health insurance (if you have any).
What is the impact of the SBHC?
- The SBHC brings healthcare directly to campus, eliminating transportation woes and other obstacles that often prevent students from getting the care they need. It can also help reduce health disparities by providing healthcare services to underserved populations.
- By making healthcare accessible and comprehensive, the SBHC invests in the well-being of students, faculty, and families creating a more vibrant and thriving learning environment for all.
Do students have to change their Primary Care Provider (PCP) to use the SBHC?
No – Compassion Health Care’s SBHC provides healthcare services to students, faculty, staff, and families without having to switch healthcare providers. If a parent of a student wishes to switch from a current provider to one of CHC’s providers, that is an option, but not necessary.
Are there conditions that the SBHC does not treat?
We’re equipped to handle most situations within our mobile health clinic, from acute care, and checkups to immunizations, and minor injuries. Need something more specialized? A referral to specialty care can be made for more complex conditions as appropriate.
