How can I enroll a student in the SBTP?
To enroll a student in the SBTP, a parent/legal guardian must complete and return the Parental Consent Forms to the child’s school.
If you are interested in enrolling or would like more information, please email our District Nurse, Beth Holzbach, at bholzbach@fsd1.org.
Is it mandatory for students to enroll in the SBTP?
Enrolling in the SBHC is NOT mandatory; however, it is strongly encouraged so that students may have access to quality comprehensive health care for diagnosis and treatment of illnesses such as
cough/cold, sore throat, pink eye, rashes, allergies, respiratory infections, ear infections, flu, bronchitis, and other low-acuity illnesses.
What type of care can my child receive in the SBTP?
What type of care can my child receive in the SBTP?
If your child is enrolled in the SBTP, he or she will receive the same care that they would get at the doctor's office. The SBTP can manage a student's illness or minor injury at the school; thus decreasing absenteeism from school. The SBTP will NOT provide care to students without the knowledge and consent of the parent/legal guardian. If the parent desires to join the visit, they can request an email link with the appointment time and video connection instructions.
Will the student receive a prescription medication?
Some conditions can be treated with over-the-counter medication; others require a more robust treatment plan requiring a prescription. Depending upon the provider’s assessment, the student may or may not receive a prescription. If the provider determines the treatment plan requires a prescribed medication, the prescription will be electronically sent to the local pharmacy of choice.
Is there a cost to participate in the SBTP?
Is a student required to have health insurance to be seen at the SBTP?
The program does not require any upfront costs from parents/legal guardians. If the student’s insurance has a co-pay, the parent/legal guardian may be responsible for the co-pay amount and the provider will bill the insurance company just like a typical primary care doctor’s visit. If you do not have insurance, you will be billed for the cost of the visit.
What if the student already has a doctor?
Can students from other schools access care from the SBTP?
Will the equipment allow the provider to adequately diagnose the student?
YES! The provider has video equipment in their office, allowing them to see your child through a high-definition camera and state-of-the-art equipment. The equipment used on the student’s side has multiple attachments that allow the provider to see inside the child's ear and mouth, increase the zoom to see rashes, and get key vital readings in real time.
