Fees
There is no charge for our professional services; the cost is covered by your tuition. However, there may be charges for lab tests, medications, x-rays, and off- campus referrals, which may be covered by your health insurance. It is essential that you know how your particular health insurance works and what restrictions apply before it is necessary to use it. Massachusetts requires all college students to have health insurance. If you have any questions about this, please call the student health insurance coordinator at 781-891-2600 or Click Here.
