Insurance information for Northeastern University
Insurance is very important while studying at Northeastern University because it can protect you and your family from financial loss due to unforeseen circumstances such as accidents, illness, or theft.
Having insurance provide peace of mind and allows you to focus on your studies.
When you enroll at Northeastern University you are required to take Health Insurance meeting the requirements set by the university.
The university will offer you an (expensive) Health Insurance product. You cannot be obliged to buy that product. You can buy alternative Health Insurance elsewhere as long as it meets the State and Northeastern University requirements.
If you buy an alternative Health insurance, you need to apply for a waiver. This means that the university will check and confirm that the alternative insurance is at least as good as the one they offered to you.
Northeastern University has an strict procedure and deadline for the submission of the waiver. Check with your university and make sure you submit the waiver on time. See here the university information about the waiver procedures and deadlines.

And all this at a lower price than the university offering of most Universities. Roughly $100 cheaper per month on average (* )
(*) What’s the catch? How is this price difference even possible? There are many factors affecting the price of insurance. Per example the fees paid to the parties involved in the contract or the claims experience; price is often based on the claims paid in the past years for students at that University and Aon Student Insurance prices are not calculated per university but for the whole group of international students coming to the United States, so a major medical claim in one university will not necessarily increase the price for that single university but will be absorbed by the whole group.
