Health Services
Health Services Center
Yale University Health Services (YUHS) provides limited coverage to Summer Session students living on campus. A mandatory health fee is charged to all non-Yale residential students. Coverage includes use of the Urgent Care department and the Intermediate Care Facility, a fully licensed, 27-bed inpatient unit located on the fifth floor of YUHS. The Urgent Care department, open 24 hours a day, is located on the first floor of YUHS and is staffed by physicians, physician associates, and nurse practitioners trained to evaluate and treat most minor, acute medical problems as well as minor trauma such as orthopedic injuries and lacerations. If needed, routine primary care and specialty services are available on-site; however, these services are not covered, even if referred by a YUHS clinician. This coverage does not replace hospitalization insurance, which all students must maintain, and does not include follow-up care.
Health Insurance
Any student living on campus who is not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident who cannot provide evidence of hospitalization insurance through a U.S. carrier will be charged an additional fee by Yale Summer Session for such coverage. This fee is not a YUHS charge. U.S. citizens or permanent residents living on campus are required to provide evidence of hospitalization coverage through a U.S. carrier.
Non-Yale students enrolled in Yale Summer Session and living off campus may use the Urgent Care department at YUHS on a fee-for-service basis.
Students who were enrolled in Yale College for the spring term immediately prior to the summer program in which they participate maintain their previous level of coverage through August 31.
