Health Insurance
All full-time graduate and undergraduate students attending Merrimack College must carry health insurance. You are automatically enrolled in the College-offered health insurance plan. If you prefer to carry your own health insurance policy, please fill out a waiver to document coverage.
In order to ensure our community members have access to high-quality medical care, students, faculty or staff who use Hamel Health Center will be charged directly through their own health insurance as they would at other medical facilities or their own doctor’s office.
