Health insurance is available to matriculated CUNY students who are enrolled for six credits or more each term through an HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) provided by GHI. The policy includes the provision of an array of hospital and medical benefits (including mental health care) as well as a “Good Health Incentives Program” that offers discounts on popular and widely used health-related products and services.

For complete coverage and premium information visit GHI’s website at http://www.ghi.com/default.aspx?page=350.

If you wish to join GHI, you must act during one of two designated enrollment periods held twice each year, during the fall and spring semesters. The deadline for each semester is indicated on the application form. If you have GHI/CUNY coverage and would like to maintain your coverage, TAKE NO ACTION . Your coverage will continue automatically.
