Health Care
Health care in the U.S. may differ from the health care delivery system in your home country, so it is important to understand Yale requirements and your health care options.

All full-time students working towards a Yale degree will receive Yale Health [2]'s Basic Coverage services free of charge. You can review the Student Coverage [3] page to understand your Basic Coverage service, which includes care in Student Health, Acute Care, and Mental Health & Counseling for students amongst other services.
All new degree-seeking students need to review the documents about health services requirements and submit necessary health forms by the indicated deadlines. Please check the section about vaccination requirements and health forms [4] for more details.
Unless you waive Hospitalization/Specialty Care coverage you are automatically enrolled in that coverage as well. If you choose to waive this coverage you need to do so online [5]. Please note, we strongly discourage you from waiving Yale's coverage as it is one of the most affordable plans available to you. Please do your research before choosing to waive the coverage.
Degree-seeking students can enroll their dependents for Yale Health Care, but must do so by the enrollment deadline. Find the enrollment form, and further details (see the Student Handbook) at the Yale Health Student Coverage [6]page.
Please note that non-degree students are generally not eligible for the student rates at Yale Health. Learn about other health coverage options on our website [7] or reach out to Yale Health [8] if you have questions about your eligibility.
