Insurance
Massachusetts law requires all full-time and three-quarters-time college students enrolled in a degree or certificate program, demonstrate evidence of coverage by a qualifying health plan for unanticipated medical costs. Please visit the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Office of Health and Human Services website for information on the law requirements and frequently asked questions.
Northeastern University Student Health Plan (NUSHP)
Here is a link to the 2009-2010 Blue Cross NU Student Health Plan.
Northeastern University’s new health plan (NUSHP), administered by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts provides comprehensive health benefits at a very affordable rate.
Students are automatically enrolled and billed for this plan by Northeastern University; if you prefer not to take this plan, you must complete the waiver by the deadline.
The waiver form is available through the MyNEU portal.
2009-2010 plan cost for undergraduates is $2095 annually; for graduate students, $2320, which includes use of UHCS. Call NU Student Accounts at 617.373.2270 for questions about your university bill for the student plan.
UHCS provides on-site assistance with claims related to your student health insurance plan at 617.373.2772 option #5. The Insurance Coordinator will also assist you with claims involving other insurance plans but each plan is so different we may not be able to provide complete assistance in resolving all issues.
Please refer to www.bluecrossma.com/nushp for details of the student plan, or call 800.294.2361 for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusets customer service.
Always carry your insurance card along with your student ID.
