MSU Student Health Insurance

All students taking seven (7) or more credits are required to have and maintain medical insurance for the duration of their time attending Montana State University. MSU offers a comprehensive health insurance plan to students, or you can acquire your own insurance. 

The Montana University System contracts with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Montana to provide and insurance plan specifically for students. The student insurance plan is in full compliance with the Affordable Care Act and, for many students, may be a better value than other coverage, including as a dependent on a parent's coverage. To learn more about the plan's benefit coverage, visit our dedicated MSU web page at Blue Cross Blue Shield of MT.
