Health Fee
This mandatory fee allows all Harvard Students access to almost all care at Harvard University Health Services (HUHS) for no additional cost. HUHS offers an array of services, including primary care, urgent care, mental health, and other specialty services.

Insurance Plan
Healthcare services outside of HUHS can be expensive. The Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) helps reduce your costs to more affordable amounts. The plan works nationwide and abroad and provides coverage for major services like surgeries, emergency care, prescriptions, specialty care, and more.
