The Health Services staff is here to help you stay well while you pursue your graduate study. Health Services provides primary care with an emphasis on wellness and health promotion. The Health Services fee is mandatory for all graduate students registered for nine or more credits during the semester. The Health Services fee for the 2004-05 academic year is $212 per semester. (If you are a graduate student with a University Graduate Fellowship, a full-time graduate assistantship, or a graduate associateship, this fee is included as part of your award package.) Payment of the fee entitles students to unlimited office visits at the Health Center, Syracuse University Ambulance and medical transportation services, health education services, nutrition services, and services provided by the Counseling Center and by the R.A.P.E. Center. Laboratory, X-ray, and pharmacy services are charged separately. Part-time students and spouses are eligible to use the Health Center on a fee-for-service basis. New York State law requires that students born on or after January 1, 1957, submit proof of immunization and other medical records. Information about these requirements is available from Health Services, 111 Waverly Avenue, Syracuse University, Syracuse NY 13244-2320, USA; 315-443-2666; fax 315-443-9010; or from the Graduate School web site. Health insurance is strongly recommended for students to cover expenses not covered by the Health Services fee and medical expenses incurred outside of SU Health Services. A student health insurance plan designed specifically for SU and ESF students is available through Health Services. International students are required to show proof they have health insurance for themselves and their families throughout their stay in the United States. University Graduate Fellows, graduate assistants, and graduate associates are eligible to participate in the University’s Group Health Care Plan. Coverage details and premium rates may be obtained from the Office of Human Resources, Employee Benefits, Skytop Office Building, Syracuse University, Syracuse NY 13244-5300, USA; 315-443-4042; fax 315-443-1063.>> next This page current as of: August 12, 2003 |
