Health Services is separate from your insurance coverage.  Health Services serves only currently enrolled Suffolk Students.  Therefore once you graduate you can no longer be seen at Health Services. 

Your insurance coverage termination date varies upon what type of health insurance plan you have. You should check with your insurance company to find out how long you are covered under your plan. 

For those students enrolled in the Suffolk Student Health Insurance Plan (SSHIP):  The SSHIP term ends in August (refer to the brochure for the termination date).  This is not an employee-type health plan and is not eligible to be extended under the COBRA regulations.  Also, remember that Massachusetts now requires all residents to have health insurance.  So, you will need to make other arrangements for health insurance once you graduate.

For those students who are covered under the SSHIP and are graduating,  Health Services is no longer your primary care provider.  Therefore you can see any primary care physician within the insurance’s network, and you will no longer need a referral from Health Services to see an outside provider.

For those students covered under their own insurance plan:  Please call the number on the back of your health insurance card to check on when your insurance coverage will end.  Also, remember that Massachusetts now requires all residents to have health insurance.  So, you will need to make other arrangements for health insurance once you graduate.
