- Out of Pocket Maximum will increase to $8,700 for combined medical and prescription expenses.
- The prescription drug copayments will change to a 5-Tier Plan:
- Tier 1: $10 copay (generic)

- Tier 3: $30 copay (non-preferred brand)

The plan design changes can have an impact on your out-of-pocket costs if you need a preferred or non-preferred specialty prescription that will require you to pay 30% of the medication's cost up to the out-of-pocket maximum.Before enrolling, we encourage students impacted by the change to compare other insurance options to the SHIP.
To look-up your prescription medication in the 5-Tier Plan, choose Prescription Info → Medication Look Up in the navigation menu on the left.
The Massachusetts Health Connector offers information about their online marketplace where you can compare and purchase insurance plans. You may be eligible for a Subsidized Health Plan (a low or no cost insurance program for qualifying uninsured adults).
