Student Health Plans

MIT Graduate Student Dental Plan

The MIT Graduate Student Dental Plan is offered by MIT through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts. It is available to all MIT graduate students enrolled in a degree-granting program. It is separate from the MIT student health plans. This coverage is optional and enrollment is not automatic. Dental insurance is not required by law, and students are responsible for premiums and any dental bills they incur.

How do I enroll?

To sign up between September 1 and September 18, visit Gallagher Student Health. Coverage lasts from October 1 to September 30 of the next year. 
 

What does the plan cover?

Covered in full: Routine diagnostic and preventative services once every six months, including emergency exams and periodic X-rays. 
 
Covered at 80 percent after $50 deductible per member per year: Other dental services, such as fillings (tooth-color or silver) and root canal therapy. Download the Summary of Benefits for more information.
 

How much does it cost?

For 2020-2021: 
  • Individuals: $526.68 per year ($43.89 per month). 
  • Families: $1332.12 per year ($111.01 per month). Note that the family rate is the same whether you choose to enroll only your spouse/partner, only your child(ren), or both; and the cost is the same regardless of the number of children enrolled.
You’ll pay for the first three months of coverage when you enroll. After that, you’ll pay monthly, one month in advance, on the same day of the month as your initial enrollment.
