Understanding My Health Coverage at Harvard

Student
Health Fee

This mandatory fee allows all Harvard Students access to almost all care at Harvard University Health Services (HUHS) for no additional cost. HUHS offers an array of services, including primary care, urgent care, mental health, and other specialty services.

Student Health
Insurance Plan

Healthcare services outside of HUHS can be expensive. The Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) helps reduce your costs to more affordable amounts. The plan works nationwide and abroad and provides coverage for major services like surgeries, emergency care, prescriptions, specialty care, and more.

Harvard University
Student Health Program

The Harvard University Student Health Program (HUSHP) represents the two parts working together (SHF + SHIP) to provide comprehensive health care coverage. This program ensures that students have access to comprehensive medical care on and away from campus.

Missed the Optional Dental Insurance Enrollment Deadline?

Unfortunately, we cannot accept applications past the Monday, September 30 open enrollment deadline. To ensure that all students had ample time to research their coverage options and apply, our application has been available since June 1. Creating a clear and consistent policy ensures fairness in application and allows for operational efficiency. Unfortunately, we cannot make exceptions in this case. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you and hope you understand our position.

Other options: You can enroll in dental insurance any time of the year through the Massachusetts Health Connector or call customer service at (877) 623-6765 (TTY (877)-623-7773) to speak with a dental enrollment specialist.
