Please Read Carefully The forms and information provided through the links below will not be current until mid-late June 2022. Domestic MFA and undergraduate students no longer are required to purchase health insurance through MCAD if they do not have their own policy (international students must purchase through MCAD). However, in compliance with the Affordable Care Act (ACA) all MCAD students are required to be enrolled in an ACA compliant health insurance policy. Therefore students will need to find their own health insurance coverage. For convenience, MCAD is offering a plan through United Health. The cost of the plan is $3294 for 12 months (starting Fall 2022 semester and is prorated for spring starting students). All domestic MFA and undergraduate students enrolled for fall semester must submit proof of insurance prior to the start of the semester. Students not enrolled for fall, but starting in the spring, must submit proof of insurance prior to the start of the spring semester. All international students must purchase health insurance through MCAD. The United Health plan, which MCAD has offered in the past, is available to MFA and undergraduate students. Information and enrollment can be found on Gallagher's website*. The United Health Plan is $3294 for 12 months (starting Fall 2022 semester) and is charged to your student account to be paid in the first semester. Spring starting students will have a pro-rated premium.
