Clerical & Technical, Service & Maintenance Coverage Staff, & Yale Security
Your Yale Health coverage is unique based on your role at the University.
You will receive all of your healthcare at the Yale Health Center unless your primary care clinician refers you to an outside clinician/specialist. Prior authorization is required for all referrals.
There is no limitation for pre-existing conditions, and most preventive, diagnostic and treatment services involve no deductibles and no claim forms.
It is important to review all of your coverage documents. The documents complement each other and are not intended to stand alone. The Schedule of Benefits and the Summary of Benefits & Coverage do not list all services and treatments, and are subject to all the terms, conditions, and exclusions and limitations set forth in the Yale Health Employee Member Coverage Booklet (i.e., “the plan document”). The plan document governs all questions of interpretation.

These glossary terms and definitions are intended to be educational and may be different from the terms and definitions in your plan or health insurance policy.
