Instructions to Waive the Student Health Insurance

If you have comparable coverage from a domestic insurance company with claims paid in the United States, you are eligible to waive the mandatory Student Accident and Sickness Insurance program upon registration.

Please follow these instructions to waive the student coverage online.

From home:

3. Click on Bunker Hill Community College.

4. Click on The Bunker Hill Community College Student Accident & Sickness Insurance Plan

5. Click on Waiver Form under Menu (top left).

6. Fill in all required information – if a piece of required information is missing, your waiver will NOT be accepted.

7. Submit the waiver form.  Shortly thereafter, you will receive a response indicating whether your waiver has been successfully submitted or not.  If the waiver has not been submitted, fill it out again and resubmit.  If it still not accepted, contact University Health Plans via email (click on icon at bottom of web page) or at 1-800-437-6448.

8. Please print a copy of the confirmation of your waiver for your records and check your bill to see if the waiver credit has been applied to your account.  If it is not applied to your account, please contact University Health Plans at 1-800-437-6448.  You may check your account on line via BHCC Online Services at http://onlineservices.bhcc.mass.edu/. Students with no social security number, or those with questions about obtaining a PIN or questions about accessing the online services, should call 617-228-3441

9. DO NOT USE FREE CARE, OR TRAVEL OR ACCIDENT INSURANCE  TO APPLY FOR A WAIVER AS THIS WILL RESULT IN A BALANCE DUE ON YOUR ACCOUNT WHICH WILL JEOPARDIZE YOUR REGISTRATION.

Please Note: All International students are required to have health insurance coverage from a U.S. based provider or pay for the Student Health Insurance Plan charged to your account. This requirement is authorized under the insurance laws for higher education students in Massachusetts (section 275 of chapter 151 of the acts of 1996). Please note that travel and accident insurance are not acceptable as health insurance and cannot be used to waive coverage.
