Required Insurance
NESA has released Accident, Sickness and Malpractice insurance information for the 2010-2011 Academic year. Students with additional questions should contact Jane Jaxon.
Malpractice Insurance: All matriculated students are required to carry Malpractice insurance, provided through the American Acupuncture Council. Coverage is $100.00 for the 2010-2011 academic year. Matriculated students will be automatically enrolled and invoiced with their tuition.
Accident Insurance: All matriculated students are required to carry Accident insurance while enrolled in NESA. Coverage is $236.00 for the 2010-2011 academic year. Matriculated students will be automatically enrolled and invoiced with their tuition.
Sickness Insurance: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires all students taking 75% of a full time course load to carry Sickness insurance meeting minimum standards. NESA defines full time at 12 credits in the fall and spring, and 9 credits in the summer. All matriculated students taking 75% of a full time course load in the Fall term will be automatically enrolled in Sickness insurance for the full academic and invoiced with tuition. Coverage for an individual is $2,427.00. Family and other plans are available.
Online Sickness Insurance Waiver: Students with a health insurance policy that meets or exceeds QSHIP standards, have the option of waiving coverage through Consolidated Health Plans. Students who do not complete the online waiver by the deadline will be enrolled in and charged for an individual Consolidated Health Plan sickness insurance policy.
To waive coverage, visit Consolidated Health Plan's waiver site. Online waivers must be completed no later than August 26, 2010 in order to avoid a $20 late waiver fee. Matriculates who waived coverage for the summer term must complete the current waiver to waive coverage for the upcoming academic year.
