Can I obtain coverage if I don’t meet the eligibility requirements for YHP Basic?
A number of situations arise in which Yale students do not meet the eligibility requirements for automatic enrollment in YHP Basic and for purchase of YHP Hospitalization/Specialty Coverage. In these situations, you are not required by the University to have health insurance coverage, although you are advised to do so. Included in this category are: students on leaves of absence; undergraduates in junior year abroad programs; medical students on reduced tuition; students registered as special students in degree candidate programs; students registered in absentia who are studying at another institution, and other degree-candidate students paying less than half of the term’s tuition.
