Medical Care
As part of the admission process each student is required
to submit a recent (within the past six (6) months) physical
and
dental examination conducted and signed by a licensed physician
and dentist. At the time of admission, students will be assessed
for evidence of drug or alcohol use. Blood and or urine screens
will be administered when considered necessary.
A physician is on-call to the school 24 hours a day. Should visits
to a physician be required, the costs incurred will be billed
to the student’s insurance carrier. If insurance does not
provide coverage, these medical bills will be the responsibility
of the parents.
Consent for medical and dental services shall be the responsibility
of the family. Consent, when possible, will be obtained prior
to hospitalization, surgery, medical treatment, psychological
(other than educational testing, psychiatric examination or dental
services such as orthodontist, dentures, bridge work) as required.
In an emergency, if it is not feasible to secure the guardian’s
consent of if (s)he cannot be located; SCH is authorized to arrange
for medical care of the child, but shall notify the family promptly
thereafter.
Parents should provide Salem with a list of the prescription
drugs their child is taking prior to admission. Further, we ask
that, at minimum, a 30-day supply be sent with the child entering
the program. Parents are responsible for the costs of all prescription
refills.
