Students' health insurance will be billed for services rendered in the Health Center. Please be advised that while students' health insurance will be billed, students (and their families) will not be responsible for co-payments, co-insurance, or deductibles due for specified services as these are covered by the comprehensive fee which all students are assessed through their regular student bill. In addition, students will not be responsible for the balance of a denied or partially denied claim from their insurance carrier.
Yes, the Health Center is staffed with Nurse Practitioners who can diagnose and prescribe medication if indicated. However, we do not provide prescriptions for any type of psychiatric medication, including stimulants. The Health Center does stock some other prescription medications that can be dispensed as a short-term supply. We partner with Capsule Pharmacy which provides free same day delivery to your residence hall or off campus address. If you take a medication on a regular basis and would like to take advantage of this free delivery program, please visit the Health Center portal page for further information. We also have numerous local pharmacies such as Walgreens and CVS.
We typically refer students to specialists at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center- Milton, located at 100 High Street, Milton, MA, about 2.5 miles from campus. There are also many specialists within a 10-mile radius of campus.
Health Services has the ability to conduct simple lab tests on-site such as urinalysis, rapid mono, rapid strep and pregnancy tests. We can obtain other tests such as blood work, throat cultures and STD testing which are processed through Quest Diagnostics. If a student requires imaging, we are able to order these tests at Milton Hospital. Students’ insurance will also be billed for any laboratory testing, imaging or written prescriptions. For these services, co-payments, co-insurance, or deductibles may be due, as outlined in the student's insurance plan.
Please refer to the information about insurance and billing on the Curry College Health Center website.

No. Out-of-state Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs), Exclusive Provider Organizations (EPOs) and out-of-state Medicaid Programs generally have a limited network of providers that will not provide comprehensive coverage in the area surrounding Curry College. Kaiser and Anthem are popular out of state HMO plans that do not provide coverage, other than for emergency situations, in Massachusetts. If you need lab work, imaging, or a referral to a specialist these services may not be covered by your insurance. Also, travel medical insurance plans and international insurance plans will NOT be accepted. Therefore, before you waive the Curry College Student Health Plan, please make sure your current insurance coverage is comparable to the Student Health Insurance Plan.

Once a student reaches the age of 18, they are protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) and a parent no longer has the right to access their child’s medical information without specific authorization.
