Enrollment (2024鈥�2025)
All students listed below are automatically enrolled in and billed for the student health insurance plan:
- Students enrolled in a degree program, regardless of credit hours
- Students who are not citizens or permanent residents of the U.S.
- Non-degree students enrolled at least 75% of full-time. Students are responsible for monitoring their eligibility status.

听
Graduate students (non-Law): Registration for classes triggers your insurance enrollment, and it takes 5鈥�7 business days for your insurance to show as active in the carrier鈥檚 system. While the fall semester coverage begins on August 7 regardless of when you register, keep this timeframe in mind if you have health care providers who will need to verify your coverage with the insurance company. You should register for classes by mid-July if you need your insurance to show as active in the insurance system on August 7.听This is also important if you plan to enroll dependents.
Post-doctorate students are eligible to enroll on a voluntary basis.
Insured students have the option of enrolling their听eligible dependents听(a spouse or a child under the age of 26). The enrollment form is available under the Forms tab. Dependents must be enrolled for the same time period as the student. For example, a student enrolled beginning in the fall semester cannot purchase dependent coverage starting in the spring unless there is a qualifying event; see the enrollment form for further details. Dependents enrolled for the fall must be re-enrolled for the spring, and you are responsible for enrolling and re-enrolling your eligible dependents each semester. The deadline to enroll dependents is September 20, 2024 for the fall semester and January 24, 2025 for students newly enrolling for the spring. Enrollment forms received after that date will not be accepted.
Note to students: You need to be enrolled in the insurance plan in order to enroll dependents. To make the dependent enrollment process as smooth as possible, you should register for classes as early as you are able.

UnitedHealthcare Coverage
The plan offers comprehensive benefits that include hospital room and board, inpatient and outpatient surgical procedures, lab work, x-rays, chemotherapy, radiation, inpatient and outpatient mental health, physician office and consultant visits, ambulance, and prescription drugs.
Refer to the benefits information and the information available at for complete details about coverage, limitations and exclusions.
Referrals from University Health Services
A referral is not required with the UnitedHealthcare Plan, but there are many benefits to first seeking care or advice from Boston College's University Health Services. Visit听University Health Services'听website for more information.
Coverage off Campus
If you paid the premium for the entire year, you will be covered from August 7, 2024 through August 6, 2025. UnitedHealthcare provides听coverage whether you are in Massachusetts, out of state, or studying or travelling abroad.
While studying or traveling abroad, keep your identification card with you. When outside the United States, you will likely be asked to pay for your medical care first and then will need to seek reimbursement. Covered expenses will be reimbursed on a non-network basis. When you submit claims for reimbursement, you may need to have the itemized bill(s) translated into English and include additional information. UHC Global can be reached toll-free from within the United States at 800-527-0218 or collect from outside of the United States at 410-543-6330, or email at assistance@UHCGlobal.com.
If a student who is enrolled in the student insurance plan takes a medical leave of absence effective mid-semester, they will continue to be covered for the remainder of that semester. Coverage may also be extended for the following semester with approval from Boston College. Enrollment is not automatic. Please contact the Office of Student Services for information about enrollment and dates of eligibility.
Students who initially waive participation in the student plan and subsequently wish to enroll prior to the waiver deadline may rescind waivers by deleting the prior waiver in the 听or by completing the Rescind Waiver form, available on the Forms tab. After the waiver deadline, a student may enroll in the student plan only on the basis of a听qualifying event. Qualifying events include marriage, birth of a child, or loss of coverage from an existing policy.听Students who qualify may submit a Petition to Add form, which will be available under the Forms tab after the waiver deadline.听
Coverage for graduating students ends on January 9, 2025 (for fall graduates) or August 6, 2025 (for spring and summer graduates). There is not an option to extend the student plan. You can contact UnitedHealthcare about enrolling directly, or explore your options through your state Health Connector. The site for the MA State Health Connector is .
Waivers (2024鈥�2025)
Waiver forms can be found on the Forms tab.

| Semester | Waiver Deadline | Insurance Coverage Period |
|---|---|---|
| Fall | September 20, 2024 | August 7, 2024鈥揓anuary 9, 2025 |
| Spring | January 24, 2025 | January 10, 2025鈥揂ugust 6, 2025 |
Students who are enrolled in a health plan that is comparable to the student plan may waive the 热点爆料入口听coverage through the 听if they are at least 18 years old. Students under the age of 18听cannot file an electronic waiver; see the Forms tab for the under 18 waiver.听
Before waiving coverage, review your plan with the following in mind:
Please review your insurance carefully. If you waive coverage and find later that your insurance does not听cover a claim, you cannot enroll in the 热点爆料入口 plan later to have the claim covered. You would need to wait听until the next open enrollment period the following year.
Your plan should be compliant with the Affordable Care Act. It should include, but not be limited to, the听following:
- preventative and non-urgent care
- prescription drugs
- emergency care
- mental health and substance abuse treatment
- surgical care
- inpatient and outpatient hospitalization
- lab work and diagnostic x-ray
- physical therapy and chiropractic care
- immediate coverage for pre-existing conditions
- no annual maximum benefits
听
Your plan should cover these services in Massachusetts and near campus. It should not limit coverage听to your home state, or limit you to emergency services only while in Massachusetts.
Medicaid plans outside of Massachusetts are not eligible for a waiver because they limit what coverage is听available outside of your home state. MassHealth plans qualify for a waiver, but the following MA听Medicaid plans do not qualify for a waiver: Children鈥檚 Medical Security Program, MassHealth Limited and听Health Safety Net. These plans do not qualify for a waiver due to their limited coverage.听
If you plan to travel in or outside of the U.S., your plan should cover you in those locations.
The state of Massachusetts does not permit waivers with socialized (foreign National Health Service听program) plans.
Your plan should cover you for the full academic year.
Please note:
Incomplete waivers will not be processed. Waivers must be completed every year. All waivers must be听submitted by the deadlines above. Students who do not complete a waiver prior to the deadline will听automatically be enrolled in and charged for the UnitedHealthcare student plan. Once the waiver is听submitted, the charge will be removed from the student account in one business day; students and听authorized payers can verify the adjustment by logging in to the 听("My Bill") and听viewing Current Activity on the View & Pay Accounts tab. Students are responsible for verifying that听their waiver was submitted correctly.
Providing insurance information to other offices on campus (e.g., Athletics, Health Services) does not听fulfill the Massachusetts waiver requirement. If a student does not complete a waiver with the Office of听Student Services, either through the 听or on paper, prior to the deadline, they will听automatically be enrolled in and charged for the student insurance plan.
To ensure international students are covered by a plan that provides sufficient coverage, international students are not eligible to waive 热点爆料入口's Student Health Insurance Plan except in very limited situations: you are insured through (1) your own or a parent/guardian/spouse鈥檚 health insurance plan offered through a U.S. employer or (2) certain government-sponsored programs such as the Government of Kuwait/UAE or Government of Saudi Arabia. MA Medicaid Plans such as Children鈥檚 Medical SecurityProgram, MassHealth Limited, and Health Safety Net do not qualify for a waiver.
The following plans are not eligible for waivers in Massachusetts: non-U.S.-based and international insurance plans, socialized or standard medical policies (including Canadian policies), travel insurance plans, or short-term medical plans. Plans must be fully compliant with the Affordable Care Act. Your insurance must be effective on or before August 7, 2024 (for fall and annual waivers) or January 10, 2025 (for spring waivers) to qualify for a waiver. For example, a policy beginning on September 1, 2024 does not cover your full time here and would not qualify for a fall or annual waiver.
