A student health insurance program is offered through Haylor, Freyer & Coon. ALL students will be automatically enrolled in the plan, with the option to waive coverage.
- Domestic students can either enroll or retain comparable coverage via their current health insurance plan or family plan. If a student will use their own health insurance plan or be covered by a parent’s plan, there is a requirement to demonstrate proof of comparable health insurance coverage and waive out of the plan offered by Haylor, Freyer & Coon.
- International students are automatically enrolled and do not have the option to waive coverage.
- Canadian undergraduate students must contact the International Relations Department for details at 716.286.8728.

Domestic and students using their own health insurance plan must complete the following:
Uploading proof of insurance to the Medicat Online Health Portal does NOT waive enrollment to the student health insurance program. Students MUST complete BOTH actions (Haylor and Medicat).
All students will be charged for this plan on your student account bill by Student Records and Financial Services unless you waive coverage. Once coverage is waived, Haylor, Freyer & Coon will provide confirmation of approved waivers to Student Records and Financial Services. After confirmation the insurance charge will be removed from the student’s account, usually within 5-7 business days. If the student does not waive out by the deadline, the student will automatically be liable for the charge on the student’s tuition bill.
