Mandatory Health Insurance
Effective September 1, 1989, the Massachusetts law C.15A, s. 18 requires that every full-time and part-time student enrolled in an institution of higher learning in Massachusetts participate in a qualifying student health insurance program (QSHIP) or in a health benefit plan with comparable coverage. A part-time student is defined as a student participating in at least 75% of the full-time curriculum or at least nine credits.

As a result, full-time and part-time students taking nine credits or more are automatically billed for individual membership in the health insurance plan sponsored by their colleges or universities. Students must purchase the school-sponsored health plan or show proof of comparable coverage in an alternate health plan in order to enroll in the college/university of their choice. Students must prove comparable coverage by completing a Student Health Insurance Waiver Form.
