CARDINAL CARE Stanford University’s Student Health Plan

Cardinal Care is a comprehensive health insurance plan specifically designed for Stanford students. Medical and mental health benefits are administered by Aetna Student Health, and dental benefits are administered by Aetna PPO Dental.

Cardinal Care offers robust coverage at school, at home, and while traveling or studying abroad. This is important for Stanford students, many of whom are on the move. Cardinal Care also provides coverage for enrollees during leaves of absence, school breaks, immediately following graduation, and during quarters when students might not be registered for classes. Students enrolled in Cardinal Care have access to Stanford faculty specialists and to hospital and emergency care at the university medical center.
