HUSHP Coverage for Pre-matriculating Students Summer 2023
Attention Students
You are required to have comparable health insurance for the month(s) you are attending your program.
It is your responsibility to determine whether your non-Harvard insurance is comparable and meets the requirements for a waiver.
Please use the waiver checklist and resources on our website to make an informed decision about enrollment. The onus is on the
you to make this decision. If you opt-out, you will not be eligible to purchase pre-matriculation coverage after the enrollment
deadline. You will be fully liable for all services not covered by your alternative coverage.
Who is Eligible?
• If you are arriving early for mandatory schoolwork to matriculate into the fall term, you will be offered the chance to enroll
in one month (July) or two months (June & July) of medical insurance.
• The start date of the insurance must be consistent with the start date of your program. Example: if you are starting your
program on July 5, you will be eligible to purchase coverage for July only.
• If you are not in a mandatory pre-matriculating program, you are not eligible to purchase early insurance, even if you are
arriving to the area prior to 8/1.
Can I purchase coverage for my dependents?
• Spouse and/or dependent children (under the age of 26) may be enrolled, so long as you are enrolled.
• Dependent(s) can only purchase coverage for the same number of month(s) as you are enrolled.
• For example, dependents cannot purchase 2 months of coverage if you are only eligible to purchase 1 month of coverage.
When does the pre-matric coverage begin?
• If you are in a program that starts in June, and purchase the pre-matric coverage, your medical coverage will start on June
1.
• Your medical coverage will start on July 1, if your program starts in July, and you purchase the pre-matric coverage for this
month.
What does the summer coverage include?
• The Harvard University Student Health Program (HUSHP) includes access to the Harvard University Health Services Clinics
and coverage under the Student Health Insurance Plan, which is administered by Blue Cross Blue Shield. A prescription
benefit is also included.
• Visit hushp.harvard.edu for the full benefit descriptions under HUSHP.
