Announcements

On Monday July 29, we are entering our second phase of this construction project.

Please see below for information about driving access to Lock Street, unsolicited emails, and coverage outside of Connecticut.

(The article below, emailed to Yale Health members on 5/14/24, has been updated to include additional information on the consent to participate process.)

Reminder: Any orthopedic or other specialty care outside of Yale Health Center requires a referral from your PCP. Yale New Haven Health recently sent a solicitation that included some Yale Health members about utilizing their outpatient orthopedic care center in North Haven. Such a center requires an approved referral for Yale Health members.

Many Yale Health members recently received an unsolicited email from Yale New Haven Health (email address info@m.ynhhs.org) regarding their North Haven walk-in center, offering care for sports injuries, etc. (below is an image of the email). This did NOT come from Yale Health and our members members need an approved referral to use that location.

Yale Health's Ophthalmology & Optometry department would like to remind our patients to follow appropriate eye safety guidelines and use proper eye protection for the solar eclipse, coming Monday April 8, 2024.

On February 26, the FDA issued a warning to immediately stop using and discard certain eye ointment products. Although Yale Health Pharmacy does not stock the listed eye ointments for our members, we feel it is important to share this information should they have been purchased at a local retail pharmacy.

The FDA website has detailed information and images of the recalled items.

We hope this update finds you healthy and enjoying the still early days of 2024.

We are pleased to introduce a new method of communicating care and benefit-related information to our members. In addition to our quarterly newsletter, we will periodically send Member Updates via email containing help for issues we hear patients facing. We’ll use this communication tool to share progress on areas of operational improvement, to bring clarity around complex benefit issues, etc.

And please reach out to us for suggestions on improvement and future topics for us to delve into.

From member feedback comes progress.

Please join us at Yale Health Center throughout March as we acknowledge Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month through a series of educational speaking events. All sessions will be held in the Moreson H. Kaplan Conference Center.

Please note the following important health insurance information and requirements for the 2024 - 2025 academic year.
