What it Costs to Go to QCC

Health Insurance

Academic year 2009-2010 is the 21st year of implementation of the Massachusetts mandatory health insurance law. Under this law, each college must require all students carrying nine credits or more in all divisions, to participate in the student health insurance program or in a health insurance program with comparable coverage.

Students of Quinsigamond Community College will be insured by Nationwide Life Insurance Company's Injury and Sickness Insurance Policy with benefits as described in the benefits summary. Complete brochures will be mailed upon enrollment. If you have comparable coverage you may wish to waive participation in the Massachusetts Community College Insurance Plan. Students who wish to waive coverage must complete the waiver form. 

The premium charge for the Fall 2009 Massachusetts Community College Health Insurance Plan is estimated at $823 and is subject to change. This charge will appear on your bill. The fall annual enrollment covers the period from September 1, 2009 through August 31, 2010. Insurance coverage for students registering for Spring only is $564.

All online waivers must be completed at registration time, or by September 30, 2009, otherwise all eligible students will automatically be enrolled in this plan, the charge will remain on your bill and payment will be required in order to retain your registration and attend classes. If you do not have access to a computer with internet access, computers are available at the Harrington Learning Center on campus, in the computer labs, and at other locations throughout the campus.

International Students -- Coverage by insurance carriers outside the U.S. and coverage by foreign national health service programs are deemed not to be comparable to coverage under a qualifying student health insurance program. Students with foreign health coverage, other than students who are enrolled in a program requiring health insurance, and students whose coverage is embassy sponsored that provides comparable coverage, must participate in the qualifying student health insurance program."114.6 CMR 3.04 (3) (c).
