Health Insurance

SUNY Upstate Medical University requires MANDATORY health insurance coverage for full-time and part-time students.

• Hospitalization, emergency care and medical care obtained other than that provided at Student Health is not covered by the student health fee and must be submitted to the student's insurance carrier for payment.
  
• You should have your health insurance identification card with you at all times.

Student Health should be kept informed of any changes in health insurance. Coverage should not be allowed to lapse because this may invalidate coverage for existing or pre-existing conditions.

First Visit

If the health insurance form was not completed during fall registration, you should bring your health insurance policy number with you to the first visit to Student Health.
