Massachusetts law requires that all students have a basic package of health insurance coverage. This applies to students who are taking nine or more credit hours per semester. Options include private health insurance that is the equivalent of the State-mandated package or the Fisher College health Insurance plan, which also meets state requirements.
For the 2008-09 academic year, students enrolled on a full-time basis will be charged a health insurance fee of $1,450 for the College's health insurance plan, which provides coverage from August 27, 2008 until August 28, 2009. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the College require that all full-time students carry health care coverage that is accepted by local health care providers.
Students may choose to waive the health insurance plan by providing: (1) a current Massachusetts-based health care program card and (2) a completed Waiver Form. Waiver Forms are available online (pdf) and through the College's Director of Nursing Services.
PLEASE NOTE: Part-time students and out-of-state online students are NOT required to obtain this Fisher College Health Insurance Plan; however, they may participate in this plan if they wish.
