Student Health Insurance
All Must Be Covered
According to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and MCPHS policy, all students (regardless of enrollment) must be covered by a comprehensive health insurance program. The College makes available a general health insurance plan which meets these standards. International students must purchase this insurance. This policy is provided by an independent insurance carrier beginning September 1st and continuing 12 months. Insurance brochures are available online.
Automatic Enrollment
Students will be automatically enrolled in this plan unless a waiver is completed and received by Student Financial Services by August 1. Students registering late must submit the waiver at that time. The waiver stipulates that personal coverage will be maintained during the enrollment period. Please note that waivers must be renewed annually.
August 1 - Health Insurance Waiver Deadline
If Student Financial Services does not receive the waiver by August 1, the student will be billed for the insurance premium and will remain responsible for payment. Waivers will not be accepted after the deadline; no exceptions will be made.
