Authorization for Use/Disclosure of Information Form
The WHS Authorization for Use/Disclosure of Information (PDF) is used when patients want to request their past healthcare information be disclosed to entities outside of Watkins Health Services. This form is not acceptable for use by students to pre-authorize disclosure of any healthcare information that will be collected or created in the future. We do not allow students to sign these forms in advance of receiving care because they do not yet have a full understanding of what their information may contain, thus, this would not be a true "informed consent." If questions arise about the use of this form, please contact our Registration & Records Department at 785-864-9494.
Pharmacy Prescription Transfer Form
To transfer a prescription to Watkins Pharmacy, complete the Prescription Transfer Form (PDF) and bring it or fax it to our pharmacy.
Spouse/Domestic Partner Guarantor Form
Student spouses and/or domestic partners are eligible for the same services as currently enrolled students. The following form must be completed by the enrolled student. For more information refer to our Eligibility for Services.
Insurance Form
We will submit claims to any insurance company although we are only in-network with certain carriers. We recommend that you have a copy of your insurance card with you at all times. If you do not have a card for your insurance, we recommend this completed Insurance Information Form (PDF) be with you at all times. Upon your first visit to Watkins, we will ask for this information.
Advance Directives Forms
Two legal documents that protect your right to refuse medical treatment you do not want, or to request treatment you, do want, in the event you lose the ability to make decisions yourself. (These documents will be legally binding only if the person completing them is a competent adult.) These documents may be requested by emailing whs-notifications@ku.edu.

Frequently asked questions about completing your Health Care Directives
How do I make my Health Care Directives legal?
- Have your signature witnessed by a notary public, or
- Sign your document, or direct another to sign it, in the presence of two witnesses, at least 18 years of age, who must also sign the document to show that they personally know you and believe you to be of sound mind, and that they do not fall into any of the categories of people who cannot be witnesses.
Can I add personal instructions to my Health Care Directives?
What if I change my mind?
You may revoke your Health Care Directives at any time by:
- Obliterating, burning, tearing, or otherwise destroying or effacing the Health Care Directives.
- Signing and dating a written revocation, or directing another to do so on your behalf, or
- Orally expressing your intent to revoke the Health Care Directives in the presence of a witness who is at least 18 years of age and who must sign and date a written confirmation of your oral revocation. An oral revocation becomes effective once your doctor receives written confirmation of it, at which time he or she must make it part of your medical record.
After you have completed your documents
- Your Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care and Health Care Directives (DNR) are important legal documents. Keep the original signed documents in a secure but accessible place. Do not put the original documents in a safe deposit box or any other security box that would keep others from having access to them.
- Give photocopies of the signed originals to your agent and alternate agent, doctor(s), family, close friends, clergy and anyone else who might become involved in your health care. If you enter a nursing home or hospital, have photocopies of your documents placed in your medical records.
- Be sure to talk to your agent and alternate, doctor(s), clergy, and family and friends about your wishes concerning medical treatment. Discuss your wishes with them often, particularly if your medical condition changes.
- If you want to make changes to your documents after they have been signed and witnessed, you must complete new documents.
- Remember, you can always revoke one or both documents.
- Be aware that your documents will not be effective in the event of a medical emergency. Ambulance personnel are required to provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) unless they are given a separate order that states otherwise. These orders, commonly called “pre-hospital do-not-resuscitate orders,” are designed for people whose poor health gives them little chance of benefiting from CPR. These orders must be signed by your physician and instruct ambulance personnel not to attempt CPR if your heart or breathing should stop. Currently not all states have laws authorizing non-hospital do-not-resuscitate orders.
