Currently registered UB students can use Student Health Services regardless of the type of health insurance plan they have. Note: Students in fully-remote programs are not assessed the health fee and therefore are not eligible to utilize Student Health Services.
New York State law requires the consent of a parent/guardian for medical care (reproductive and sexual health care excluded) of persons under 18 years of age. If you are under 18, your parent will need to give us written consent to treat you.
