Worcester State University
STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN

2012-2013 Academic Year

Massachusetts State Law requires that all full-time and ¾ time (nine or more credits) students attending an institution of higher education in the state must be enrolled in a Qualifying Student Health Insurance Plan that meets established minimum benefit guidelines.

The Worcester State University 2012-13 student health insurance program will be insured through Blue Cross Blue Shield of MA and is more carefully tailored to the insurance usage by Worcester State University students. The student health insurance enrollment/waiver process will continue to be administered by University Health Plans. We are making every effort to keep the plan as affordable as possible. Please note there is an increase in the 2012-2013 rate. The new spring rate is $742 for coverage from January 1, 2013 to August 1, 2013. Complete benefit information is available at www.universityhealthplans.com.
