General Information ^top^
The campus Marshall Infirmary has a capacity of 38 beds and the capability of treating cadets for minor illnesses and injuries. A nurse is on duty 24 hours a day and is available during the school day and for sick call. Morning sick call begins at 7:00 a.m. Monday through Friday.
Routine medical and dental care should be arranged by you during school breaks with your local provider. Minor illnesses are treated or referrals are made to Roswell physicians if deemed necessary by the medical staff. There is no charge for an office call or for confinement at the Infirmary, however, you will be billed for any lab tests. Prescribed drugs are charged to the cadet account; copies are available for insurance purposes.
In instances of sudden serious illness or accident, cadets are transported to a local area hospital by ambulance.
Accident Insurance ^top^
All cadets are covered by an accident policy for the 2012/2013 school year at the price of $240.00 (see rates/terms below). You may purchase extended summer coverage for $78.00. Applications are available at the Business Office.
Please note this is a supplemental accident policy, not a medical policy. It is not intended to cover all costs but provides excellent benefits for a nominal cost. For accidents, where expenses for claims are more than $200.00 per accident, you are required to file any other insurance first. If you do not have other medical coverage, NMMI insurance will be the primary coverage. Remember, this is for accidents only. The accident policy does not pay benefits for sickness (see Health Insurance).
If you receive invoices for medical services which resulted from an accident, please forward them to the NMMI Infirmary immediately and we will file an insurance claim. Claims must be submitted within 90 days of the accident date.

Medication ^top^
Prescribed medications, regardless of origin, must be turned over to the NMMI Infirmary. Infirmary staff will be available at matriculation to collect medications. All medications must be controlled and stored at the Infirmary. Misuse, abuse or unauthorized possession of prescription or over-the-counter drugs may result in immediate suspension.
Charges for medications dispensed by Infirmary staff during the normal care of cadets will be charged to the Cadet Account.
Roswell Health Care Providers ^top^
In the past, NMMI received numerous complaints from the Roswell medical community because physicians' and dentists' bills were not being paid. Some local providers require a substantial deposit from parents before NMMI cadets are examined. In non-emergency cases, you will be notified to mail or wire funds for this purpose.
Please respond promptly when invoiced by Roswell health care providers, as we do not want to jeopardize health care for our cadets.
