Important Healthcare Information
The U.S. healthcare system can be difficult to navigate, especially for international students who are used to free healthcare in their home countries. The following information will help you know what to do in a medical emergency or whenever you need healthcare.
A "primary care provider" is your first point of contact for non-emergency and non-urgent health concerns. Your first stop for primary care should be the SRJC Student Health Services. You can make an appointment by calling (707) 527-4445. If you need to see a doctor more regularly, they can refer you to a primary care physician in your network.
To find a primary care provider in your network, visit the GeoBlue website and click the link to Find a Provider in the U.S. You will need the first three letters or numbers of your member ID in order to find a doctor or a hospital. Immunizations are not covered by GeoBlue. If you need immunizations, visit Student Health Services at SRJC for help.
