Student Comprehensive Health Insurance Plan
Chapter 23 of the Massachusetts Acts of 1988 requires that all students registered
for nine or more credit hours must participate in a comprehensive health insurance
plan unless they certify that they are participating in a health insurance plan with
comparable coverage. If a student has comparable coverage and wishes to waive
participation in the Massachusetts Community Colleges insurance plan, the student
must submit waiver information via the Internet by the due date that appears on the
registration statement or at the time of registration. Students may access the waiver
form online at http://commonwealthstudent.com. The College has set up dedicated
computer stations in the Main Lobby of the Charlestown Campus for students
without Internet access.
MassHealth quali�es as comparable coverage; however, free care that is provided by
hospitals and community health centers to low-income uninsured and underinsured
people is not insurance and does not qualify. The state requires students who
are insured through Commonwealth Care and students who are dependents on
Masshealth to participate in the Student health insurance coverage; therefore,
Commonwealth Care and MassHealth care cannot be used to waive coverage.
All students carrying nine or more credit hours in the fall or nine or more credit
hours in the spring must comply. Classes offered in the Center for Self-Directed
Learning or during mini sessions are considered part of the long semester for
purposes of determining health insurance requirements. Students are not required to
have health insurance coverage during the summer term. In addition, overseas health
plans, travel, and accident insurance plans are deemed not comparable or accessible;
therefore, all international students must participate in the College health insurance
program or obtain coverage from a U.S. based carrier that meets state requirements.
