Health Insurance
COVID-19 Update: Student Health Insurance coverage remains unaffected by the move to online instruction. Please visit our COVID-19 Support page for more information.
All Tufts students are required to be covered by health insurance (it's a Massachusetts state law). Choose from the Student Health Plan or your own private insurance.
Health Insurance is needed to pay for the following:
- Routine medical care
- Emergency care
- Lab tests - both at Health Service and other labs
- Visits to specialists - both at Health Service and in private offices
- Prescriptions
- Emergency Room visits
- Medical equipment - such as orthopedic supplies
- Private mental health visits
- Hospitalization
The FIRST Resource Center offers Financial Resources to assist students with medical costs.
