Student Health Insurance
All students are required to have, and provide documentation of, adequate health insurance coverage for inpatient and outpatient care. Stony Brook offers a health insurance plan for all full time domestic students that will fulfill this requirement. The plan pays for most medically necessary bills, such as doctor visits, mental health counseling, prescriptions, emergency room visits, lab testing, diagnostic testing, surgery, hospitalization, etc.
All full time students at Stony Brook are automatically billed for the University Health Insurance plan at the beginning of each semester. The cost of the plan is $2750 per year for medical students, who require a higher level of coverage for clinical practice.
Waivers for this plan and fee are given only if the student has health insurance through: a job; a parent; a spouse; another related individual; Medicaid or "Healthy New York." To file a waiver, students must go to the SOLAR system and follow the instructions under "Student Requirements" on the menu. In order for the waiver process to be complete, documentation of other insurance coverage must be provided to the Office of Student Affairs.
