<p>[Stony</a> Brook University Student’s Welcome Center - Health and Insurance Requirements](<a href=“http://www.stonybrook.edu/sb/newstudents/nshealthrequirements.shtml]Stony”>http://www.stonybrook.edu/sb/newstudents/nshealthrequirements.shtml)</p>
<p>Here’s the answer to your question regarding health insurance. I cut and pasted it straight from their website.</p>
<p>All full-time matriculated students at Stony Brook are automatically billed for the University Health Insurance plan at the beginning of each semester.</p>
<p>Waivers for this insurance plan are approved only if the student already has alternate health insurance in place and completes a waiver online (on SOLAR) at the beginning of the semester. Your alternate insurance must cover you for the following medical services if you wish to waive the University insurance:</p>
<p>Inpatient hospitalization
Outpatient mental health visits
Prescription medicines
Self injury and suicide attempts
Pre-existing medical conditions</p>
<p>To file a waiver the student must go to the SOLAR main page, and click on “Student Financial Services,” and then on “Health Insurance Waivers.” Waivers must be completed by the third week of classes at the start of every academic year. Waivers are not accepted after the due date. All waivers are subject to an audit during the school year.</p>
