Health Insurance Coverage

If you are enrolled in SUNY's UnitedHealthcare StudentResources plan purchased through UB, Health Services will bill your insurance company directly for your vaccines – most vaccines are covered in full for most patients. 

For those who are enrolled in other health insurance plans, vaccines may be covered by your health insurance — please contact your health insurance company for details. Health Services is NOT able to bill other health insurance companies directly; we will bill your UB student account & provide you with a receipt that you can send to your health insurance company to request reimbursement; however, Health Services does not guarantee reimbursement from any health insurance company.

Types of Payment Accepted

Students will have fees for services billed to their student account as a "medical treatment charge."
