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.
Here is a link to new 2008-2009 Blue Cross NU Student Health Plan.
Northeastern University Student Health Plan (NUSHP)
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.
2008-2009 plan cost for undergraduates is $1975annually; for graduate students, $2200, 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.
