It may take several weeks to complete the enrollment process for new coverage, so make sure to begin your search for other health insurance coverage early.
A certificate of coverage may be required when enrolling in another health insurance plan. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts will mail you a certificate of coverage letter as proof that you were enrolled in health insurance when enrolling in another insurance plan.
OPTIONS FOR SECURING OTHER COVERAGE
1. If you plan to stay in Massachusetts |
Consider enrollment through the Massachusetts Health Connector. The Health Connector offers health and dental plans from leading insurers in Massachusetts. You may qualify for MassHealth, tax credits to help pay premium costs, or other affordable Connector Plans. |
2. If you plan to live outside of Massachusetts |
Explore your options through Healthcare.gov. This U.S. Department of Health & Human Services site provides information on health insurance options by state; not all states have comprehensive health plans available without restrictions to new members. |
3. Other Options |
Research enrollment options through a family member. Your termination on the Student Health Insurance Plan may make you eligible to be added as a dependent of a spouse/partner’s or parent’s health plan. |
Taking a Leave of Absence or Withdrawing
The official date recorded by your school Registrar of your status change will impact your coverage and options. Learn more about coverage.
