Domestic Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP)
The Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) has been developed especially for Stony Brook students (and their dependents) to provide access to comprehensive care that complements the quality health services on campus.
The details of the plan are reviewed and recommended each year by committee members to ensure that the coverage is well-suited to the needs of the Stony Brook students and respectful of their budgets. SHIP is administered by UnitedHealthcare. The Plans meet all of the student health insurance standards developed by the American College Health Association.
SHIP is tailor-made for the college population.
