Costs and Insurance

There is no charge for visits to Health Services, most medications and some laboratory services. Students (or their health insurers) are responsible for bills relating to emergency room visits, outside laboratory and x-ray tests, visits to specialists, immunizations, and certain medications.


All full-time and qualifying part-time (6 or more credit hours) matriculated students enrolled at Skidmore College are required to enroll in the Student Health Insurance Plan for Skidmore Students Administered by Gallagher Koster (the Student Health Insurance Plan), OR provide proof of alternative insurance coverage through a comparable plan. For more information please contact the Bursars Office at 518-580-5830 or visit www.gallagherkoster.com .  If you have any questions about what's covered, how to access benefits, enrollment concerns or for questions about ID cards  please email Gallagher Koster at skidmorestudent@kosterins.com.
