The Yale Health Plan is a prepaid comprehensive health care program, located at the University Health Services Center (YUHSC), 55 Lock Street. All Yale graduate students enrolled at least half-time are automatically members of the YHP, and are eligible for ambulatory care services and use of the infirmary at no additional charge. For entering students, membership in YHP begins on the day of registration. Yale requires that students have hospitalization coverage as well.
Students may enroll their spouses and dependents by filing an application with the YHP. The University will pay for the Student and Dependents only. If a spouse chooses to be insured under the Yale Health Plan, the fee is applied through the Bursar’s Office.
Members of the YHP use the University Health Services for both routine and emergency outpatient care. The YHP encourages its members to select a personal physician from its full-time primary care medical staff. Appointments are scheduled weekdays Monday – Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. by calling 203-432-0312. Emergency care is available 24 hours a day and can be reached by calling 203-432-0123. For further information about the Yale Health Plan please call or visit the Yale University Health Services Center subscriber services office at 55 Lock Street (432-0246).
