About the MIT Student Extended Insurance Plan

The MIT Student Extended Insurance Plan is a comprehensive insurance plan that meets state and federal health insurance requirements and J-1 visa requirements. This plan meets the minimum essential health coverage requirements in accordance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Whether you’re studying on campus or remotely, the Extended Plan is there when you need it through the nationwide Blue Cross Blue Shield network.
