Health Insurance

The CIA has incorporated a mandatory annual student health insurance plan through United Health Care. The plan is offered to all domestic and international full-time students. Domestic students may waive out of the health insurance plan by providing proof of current, comparable health insurance coverage through a family or individual plan. International students are not eligible to opt out and must enroll in the plan offered by the CIA. The annual plan coverage dates run from September 1-August 31. The cost of insurance for students starting in the Spring or Summer semester will be pro-rated accordingly. For more details about coverage and enrollment, please contact Haylor, Freyer, & Coon at (866) 535-0456 or mail student@haylor.com

Personal Health Resources

Students should check with their insurance provider for a list of physicians or care providers in the area where they will be attending the CIA who accept the insurance. Students who need medical insurance can go to the online Health Insurance Marketplace in their permanent state of residence to get coverage

New York Campus

At our New York campus the CIA provides the services of a nurse practitioner as well as licensed nurses for illness, injuries, vaccinations, and health education at the Hyde Park campus from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays when classes are in session. After-hours, students needing immediate care can contact Campus Safety or visit an off-campus facility. The cost of prescriptions, off-campus doctors, urgent care or emergency room visits, and hospitalization is the student's responsibility.

California Campus

At our California campus, no onsite health services are provided.  Care is provided through off-campus practitioners; referrals can be provided upon request. In emergency situations, students should contact the Office of Safety and Security who will determine next steps.

Texas Campus

No onsite health services are available at our Texas campus.  Care is provided through off-campus practitioners. The director of education can assist with local referrals to primary care facilities, some of which are within walking distance of the college.
