Using your health insurance outside of MIT Health

When you receive healthcare outside of MIT Health, you will always need to use your health insurance coverage — either SHIP [LINK] or other insurance, like your parents’ insurance plan — and/or pay out of pocket. Such services would include:

• Prescription and over-the-counter medications
• Emergency room care
• Overnight hospitalization
• Medical transportation (for example, ambulance transport)
• Visits to outside urgent care centers, such as a CVS Minute Clinic
• Treatment by clinicians and specialists outside MIT Health
• Mental health or counseling services with clinicians outside MIT Health
• Radiology procedures performed outside MIT Health
