academic year. Here is a FAQ page
from Aetna specifically focused on benefits most relevant to transfolk.
Medical Consultation: If you are not sure whether you should
go to the Urgent Care facility when the Health Center is closed, call
626-584-2421 and ask to speak with Dr. Stuart C. Miller for advice for
non-emergency medical questions. If your situation is one that needs
immediate attention (urgent but not an emergency) and can't wait for
Dr. Miller to return the page, it is best to go to the Urgent Care
Facility.
Psychological Emergencies: Call Campus Security at x4701 and
ask to have the psychologist on call paged.
Emergency Contraceptives: Students in need of Emergency
Contraceptives can either go to Urgent Care or page Dr. Stuart Miller
at 626-584-2421.
