MIT Student Health Insurance

All MIT students are automatically enrolled in the MIT Student Extended Insurance Plan. Students are able to include their dependents or choose a different provider; however, if you do not wish to stay enrolled in the MIT Student Extended Insurance Plan you will need to complete a waiver. For those selecting to remain with the MIT Insurance, your medical services are provided by MIT Medical, located on the east end of campus. MIT Medical includes pediatrics, OB/GYN, Mental Health, general practitioners, and an on-site pharmacy. For more information regarding the MIT Student Health Plan, including how to enroll or to fill out a waiver, go to this website.
