Students who have the AU Student Health Insurance Plan and would like medical advice after hours should call Managed Care Concepts at 1-866-751-2723.
Student not covered by AU Student Health Insurance should call FONEMED when the Student Health Center is closed. Simply call 1-866-900-7162 and let the nurse know that you are calling from American University. This service is available to students who live on or off campus.
If you live on campus and the nurse advice line recommends that you go to the Emergency Room, contact Public Safety at 202.885.3636 to get a taxi voucher good for Sibley Hospital. Sibley Hospital will provide you with a voucher back to campus.
If at anytime you feel that you need to be transported to the hospital by an ambulance, call Public Safety at 202.885.3636. If you are off-campus and experiencing an emergency, you should call 911.
