(climactic music)
- Hello, I'm Charlie.
- And I'm Maya.
Thanks for coming along with us
and learning about all that the city, New Haven,
has to offer.
- Now that you're more familiar with your new home,
we want to share with you some of the resources Yale
has set up to make sure you're taken care of
once you get here.
- Let's start with the basics.
Our friends at Yale Health
put together a video to help you learn more
about the healthcare options that you're entitled to
as a student.
- Take a look.
(lighthearted upbeat music)
- Did you know you might
be attending the Collegiate School of New Haven,
if it weren't for the fact that Elihu Yale
donated nine crates of goods, 417 books
and a portrait of King George I
to get the school going?
- (laughs) Okay.
Interesting but not exactly essential information.
- [Man In Red Shirt] So I guess you already know most
of the really important stuff.
Like where to get your meals.
- [Girl With Braid] Where your classes are.
- [Man In Red Shirt] The best place for sushi.
- [Girl With Braid] And pizza.
- [Man In Red Shirt] Where the library is.
- [Girl With Braid] Where to see a Picasso.
- Or some punk rock.
(guitar plays)
- [Girl With Braid] Where to work out.
- Or where to mediate.
So you're feeling pretty good about Yale.
- Yeah.
- But what if you weren't?
- What?
- Feeling good?
- I'd stay in bed.
- What if you felt really bad?
- I didn't know you meant feeling this bad.
I'm getting a distinct Ebenezer Scrooge vibe.
- No, we're not there yet.
- Good, I was getting a little freaked out.
- That's what I'm talking about.
Yale Health.
- So that's what that building is.
- Right, and you're a member.
- Not me, I'm on my Mom's insurance.
- Even so, there are basic services
that every enrolled student's entitled to.
Free of charge including
Student Health,
Mental Health and Counseling,
Gynecology,
Acute Care,
Inpatient Care,
and Laboratory Services.
And this means students can get care when they are sick.
Physical exams, gynecological exams, STI testing
and flu shots, free of charge.
- This is beginning to sound like an infomercial.
How do you know all of this?
- I've used some of the services myself.
For the rest, I asked an expert.
- So you're saying I get all these services free?
- Absolutely.
You know many students don't know it
but they're free to every enrolled student.
- But what if I'm on my Mom's insurance?
(phone rings)
I'm okay.
Yes, everything's fine.
Yes, yes, no, Mom.
Of course I'm feeling fine.
Yes, I'd let you know if I wasn't.
All right, I love you too, I'll call you later.
Bye.
- It's okay, you can still use these basic services.
- What if I need more than that?
- It's totally your choice.
You can use your mom's insurance
and waive Yale Health's
hospitalization specialty care coverage,
or for a reasonable fee,
you can use all of those services at Yale Health too.
( upbeat music )
Hey, I gotta go.
( fist bump )
( upbeat music )
- So let me get this straight.
I get basic services free?
- Right.
- So how's it work?
Say I get this strange rash.
Can I just walk in?
(phone beeps)
(lighthearted music)
(phone beeps)
So Indy, I didn't see your motorcycle parked out front.
What is it you have to tell me?
- We do not follow maps to buried treasure.
X never ever marks the spot.
And here's what's most important,
you can get STI testing, birth control prescriptions
and free condoms.
- Does my mom have to know about this?
(phone rings)
I'll call her back later.
- Like any medical facility,
your medical information is completely confidential.
She'll only know what you decide to tell her.
- So Yale's great and all but--
- The pressure?
- Well, first of all there's the workload.
- You're telling me.
- And relationships.
- Oh yeah.
- Sometimes you just need to talk to someone.
- You look around and everyone seems so happy
and well-adjusted and brilliant, like it's effortless.
- Exactly.
- But Yale Health knows that a lot of students struggle,
feel like they're the only one feeling that way.
- It can get you down.
- Yale Health can help with that too.
They have mental health and counseling services
to help students deal.
And it's all completely confidential.
( thoughtful music )
- It's all really professional.
- Yeah, authenticious.
- [Announcer] And remember,
with basic coverage, you get services
for Acute Care, gynecology,
including exams and prescriptions for birth control pills,
in-patient care, lab services,
mental health and counseling,
student health, nutrition counseling
and health education.
If you decide to keep
Yale Health Hospitalization Specialty Care Coverage,
there's prescription coverage, treatment for allergies,
dermatology, diagnostic imaging,
orthopedics, physical therapy, ophthalmology and more.
- So it seems like Yale Health
is just what the doctor ordered.
- Okay, dad joke.
- But it's true.
We don't have far to go to stay healthy.
- And the price is right.
- Yeah.
I feel better already.
