Effective Dates and Costs
NUSHP plans are effective the term that a student meets the minimum qualifications outlined by the State of Massachusetts. Students with a comparable domestic insurance plan are given the opportunity to waive NUSHP the term they meet the qualifications via the me.Northeastern student portal once they have been billed for NUSHP, please see Waiver page. Eligible students need to waive each academic year. Student who wish to enroll dependents are able to do so, however there is additional rates for them. Once enrolled in the plan, student must stay for the full policy period, September 1 to August 31. After the waiver deadline, the premium is not adjusted for any reason.

UHCS Fee
Graduate, CPS, and PTE students enrolled in NUSHP will also be charged the Health Center fee and can be eligible for services at University Health and Counseling Services (UHCS). See the table below for the rates that would be added to your account. Once enrolled in NUSHP, the UHCS fee is mandatory with your enrollment in NUSHP and cannot be waived. If a student waives NUSHP, the Health Center fee will also be waived, and the student will not have access to services at UHCS.

Requests will not be reviewed until degrees are conferred in January. The deadline to submit this request is January 31, 2023. If requested the health plan would terminate effective January 31, 2023 and a prorated credit would be posted to their account.
