In an e-mail sent today, Yale Health announced a series of immensely huge changes to student coverage. Among them:
- Prescription coverage is now included in Hospitalization/Specialty coverage.
- There is no longer an annual dollar limit for durable medical equipment.
- 60 days of inpatient mental health coverage can now be used consecutively (removal of 180 day waiting period).
- Mental health coverage for outpatient services for enrolled children increases from 16 to 25 visits annually.
- Expenses in connection with a medically necessary sex reassignment surgery will be covered, subject to pre-authorization based on widely accepted standards of care.
Get pumped. This is big.
