What is ZumCare? ZumCare is a medical clinic serving Fort Zumwalt School District beginning Oct. 1, 2017. Operated by BarnesCare, a member of BJC, ZumCare offers convenient and quality acute care, preventive care and chronic condition management health services.

Who is eligible to use ZumCare? ZumCare is available for Fort Zumwalt School District’s benefit enrolled employees, their dependents over the age of 2 and pre-Medicare retirees. Patient’s will be required to present their Aetna medical ID card as proof of enrollment. Each month the clinic will be provided a list of employees enrolled in the plan. However, should there be a need to verify eligibility, the clinic may contact (with your permission) the Benefits Department for verification. As an example, say an employee just added a child to the coverage, but they have not received a new card yet. Rest assured, verification of coverage does not include a disclosure of why you are at the clinic for treatment. Sharing information of that sort would be a violation of federal law.

How much does it cost to use ZumCare? ZumCare is available at no cost to benefit enrolled employees, their families and pre-Medicare retirees.

How do I schedule an appointment for an office visit? To make an appointment, please call ZumCare at 636-978-1610.

Are walk-in appointments available? Typically, no. We recommend calling ahead to schedule a same-day appointment. Scheduled appointments will always be given priority over walk-ins. If a same-day appointment is not available, we will work to get you in as soon as possible.

How long are typical wait times? Our goal is to keep wait times to a minimum by encouraging patients to schedule appointments for all visits. Typically, same day appointments will be available.

Why is Fort Zumwalt School District launching the clinic? The clinic will help reduce the out-of-pocket costs to employees/retirees and their covered dependents, which is good for our employees’ bottom line. It also will lower the district’s costs for basic services, which is good for the district’s bottom line.

Will my health information be shared with the school district? No. All services provided by ZumCare are private and confidential as protected by law. Your information cannot be shared with Fort Zumwalt School District without your consent, unless you are being treated for a work-related injury or occupational health need.
