Welcome to the Northeastern University Student Health Plan
NUSHP is a high-quality, affordable health plan dedicated to your well-being.
Mandatory health coverage
Massachusetts law requires that every full-time and every part-time student enrolled in a certificate, diploma, or degree-granting program in higher education must participate in their school’s Student Health Program or in a health benefit plan with comparable coverage.
The Northeastern University Student Health Plan (NUSHP) goes well beyond the requirements of the law. Students enrolled in NUSHP receive platinum-level coverage nationwide, and even receive international benefits. Students receive continuous coverage, usable at home, on campus, and abroad.
Your decision
While every eligible student is automatically enrolled in NUSHP, you may elect to opt out of the plan and remain on your own insurance if that plan provides comparable coverage. For more information on the waiver process, visit our Waiver page.
A few things to consider
- What is the service area of your plan?
- Does your carrier meet Massachusetts mandated requirements?
- Does your plan provide you with the same comprehensive coverage as NUSHP at a reasonable cost?
