Suffolk Law - 2019 AJD New Student Information Guide

HEALTH REQUIREMENTS

Health Insurance

It’s essential that students have access to comprehensive medical care while enrolled at Suffolk University. All full-time and part-time students who are enrolled in at least 75% of a full time program, and all International students, are required by law to participate in a qualifying student health insurance plan, or in a health benefit plan with comparable, qualifying coverage. All eligible Suffolk students will be automatically enrolled into the Suffolk University Student Health Insurance Plan (“SSHIP”) for coverage effective May 20, 2019 – August 21, 2019. SSHIP is serviced by University Health Plans Inc., and underwritten by Blue Cross Blue Shield of MA, the Blue Care Elect Preferred (PPO) Student Health Plan. The Summer 2019 fee for SSHIP is $694 . This charge will be assigned to your Suffolk student account bill. To opt out and remove the fee, accelerated law students must contact the Law Admission Office at 617-573-8144 or lawadm@suffolk.edu before the May, 17, 2019 waiver, verifying comparable qualifying health insurance provided by a U.S. based insurance carrier. Your health insurance card will be mailed to the student address that is on record with the university, so please be sure to submit your correct local address through Suffolk’s E-Checkin system in order to receive your card and other important coverage information.

Please Note: This waiver must be submitted again for enrollment in August 2019 for the 2019- 2020 academic year and annually for each year of enrollment.
