New employees can research options through the Massachusetts Health Connector at www.mahealthconnector.org. If a new employee is a “benefits-eligible” employee (see definition in above FAQ), they will need to click on the option for Individuals and Families. To be covered for the first of a month, the new employee must enroll and pay online by the 10th of the previous month. They need to notify the Health Connector when they wish their coverage to terminate.
International employees and J-1 Exchange Visitors require insurance for the duration of their stay in the US. Please visit the Immigration Services Office website for further information.
