All registered students taking nine or more undergraduate credits, or seven or more graduate credits, must provide proof of enrollment in a medical insurance plan that meets the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' mandated guidelines (laws) or be automatically enrolled in a college-sponsored plan.
Bridgewater's student health insurance is provided by University Health Plans and is sponsored by Blue Cross Blue Shield, Blue Care Elect Preferred (PPO). The plan provides coverage for illnesses and injuries that occur on and off campus and includes special cost-saving features to keep the coverage as affordable as possible.
For premium pricing, please see the link below. The policy is in effect from Aug. 1 until July 31 each year. Students who have comprehensive health insurance can remove this fee from their bills by electronically waiving the insurance (see the description below) by the stated deadline in September (for each fall semester) and in February (for those who not enrolled in the fall). The waiver must be submitted each year. Click here to see the requirements for international students.
To access the Bridgewater State University Sponsored Student Health Insurance or submit the waiver (proof of enrollment in one's own or one's parents' policy for the academic year), visit the University Health Plans website. Students who enroll in the school sponsored plan must confirm payment with Student Accounts.
