Charges
Some of the vaccines administered at the Yale University Health Services are fee for service. The amount that you will be charged depends on your plan and your deductible. Travel consultations and vaccines are not a covered benefit so you will be charged the full amount for these services.
You are required to pay for all charges at the time of service. You may pay by credit card, check, or charge to your student bursar account. If you have other insurance you may be able to submit your receipt for reimbursement.
