Are physical exams covered?
Physical exams are covered by our Basic Coverage that all students receive free of charge even if they waive Yale Health coverage. However, adults (people over the age of 18) do not require a physical exam every year. Adults typically need a physical exam every 5 years in their 20s and 30s, every 2 years in their 40s, and every year after age 50. We recommend that students get a physical exam once in the year prior to graduating. Students with specific health conditions such as Diabetes or HIV should get physical exams more frequently.
