Yes, Student Health Plan (SHP) and Student Health Plan Plus (SHP+) are designed to provide students with access to health care wherever they live or travel. SHP and SHP+ use the Aetna network, and it is common for U.S. health care providers to participate with this network. SHP and SHP+ also provide coverage internationally.

SHP and SHP+ provide a critical safety net to ensure that all students, regardless of location, have access to quality and affordable healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic. They also fund Cornell Health services, which now include telehealth medical and mental health services for students in the United States, as well as support and care management services wherever students reside.
