Health Insurance

  • The SU student health insurance is Aetna Student Health. You can use their online DocFinder to locate providers in the area. If you have questions about your coverage, you can call Aetna at 866-381-1529, email the Student Health Insurance Office, or call 315-443-9019.
  • If you waived the SU plan, then you need to contact your insurance carrier for information about locating providers in the area. Many plans have online listings like Aetna. If you don’t have the access to that information, then ask a family member if you are on their plan.
  • Note you should always ask any provider if they accept your plan AND also verify specific coverage (i.e. copays, deductibles, plan limits) with your insurance company.
