Does HUSHP offer a COBRA plan? 
There is no extension of coverage/COBRA through HUSHP. If you do not have the option to enroll in health insurance through a relative or employer, review the information below for additional options.

Required documentation when applying for new coverage
You may need a “Certificate of Health Plan Coverage,” which will be mailed to you if you are enrolled in the Harvard Student Health Insurance Plan. You will receive two letters from BCBS:

• The first letter will arrive before your insurance end date and is a reminder that your insurance will be ending soon.
• The second letter is the “Certificate of Health Plan Coverage,” which will be mailed after your insurance end date. This certificate is proof of your prior insurance coverage. You may need this document when applying for coverage with a new health plan. Contact BCBS at 800-257-8141 if you do not receive this document.

If you are going to apply for other coverage prior to the end date of the Student Health Insurance Plan, Member Services can provide you a coverage letter, which will facilitate your enrollment.
