Student Health Insurance: Waive or Enroll in the Plan
Massachusetts State Law requires all full-time and certain part-time students attending an institution of higher education to have medical coverage and has placed the obligation on colleges and universities to enforce this regulation.
All students must either Waive or Enroll in the student health insurance at the start of each academic year using the link below. To ensure compliance with the Massachusetts State Law, students are automatically billed for this Student Health Insurance plan each year.
Waiving the Student Health Plan
In order to waive the insurance, students must provide proof of a Massachusetts Qualified Student Health Plan. A qualifying health insurance plan is one that provides reasonable and comprehensive coverage of health services that include: preventive and primary care, emergency services, hospitalization benefits, ambulatory patient services and mental health services. Any health plan must provide reasonably accessible health services to the student in the area where the student attends school. Out of state Medicaid and health insurance policies from other countries are not acceptable. You will need your seven-digit Dean student ID number, date of birth and health insurance information to complete this process.
Enrolling in the Student Health Plan
Students who are enrolling in the student health insurance plan must complete the enrollment form using the link above in order to activate their health coverage. To complete the form, you will need your Dean student ID number and date of birth. Students who do not take this step will be automatically enrolled after the waiver deadline (Fall - September 16th; Spring – February 3rd)..
