Health Insurance Information
NOTE: Most services within Student Health & Counseling are covered by the Student Health Fee, which is mandated as part of each student's tuition and completely different from private health insurance coverage.
International, exchange, or study-abroad students
International, exchange, or study abroad students coming to the United States should contact the Campus Community Resource Nurse, Laura Evans, at evansL@geneseo.edu regarding insurance.
Domestic students
You must contact your insurance company to verify that our lab, Quest-Pittsburgh, is in your network and if you are required to obtain pre-authorization for labs.
SUNY Geneseo does NOT offer health insurance for domestic students.
Full-time students up to age 26 may be covered by a parent’s or family member’s private health insurance policy – be sure to check whether coverage extends to the Geneseo and Rochester areas.
