If you belong to an HMO, check to see if they will cover lab tests and prescriptions ordered by the Health Service. Most will not, and students, often unable to leave school to go to the HMO for care, must pay themselves. In addition, if you will be living outside your HMO coverage area while attending UMass Lowell, you must enroll in the University's Student Insurance Plan . If you have school insurance, you should be seen at Health Services initially for any medical problem. Before deciding to waive the University insurance plan, check with your insurance company to determine the age at which coverage is terminated.
Many companies drop coverage when a student reaches nineteen.
