Health Insurance - for Domestic Students

Hobart and William Smith Colleges expect all students to carry medical insurance. Insurance may be obtained through the Colleges or through family or individual policies. HWS strongly urges students and their families to check the details of your insurance policy to make sure it provides adequate coverage in the Geneva, NY area. Not all insurance policies cover students outside their home "network." If your policy does not adequately cover services provided in the Geneva area, we strongly urge you to consider opting into the student health insurance plan underwritten by United Healthcare. Just take a few moments to be sure your coverage is adequate by contacting your health insurance carrier if you have one, and by reviewing materials provided on the Haylor, Freyer and Coon website. There is a plan highlight sheet and Frequently Asked Questions document available to review.
