| | BWH postdoctoral fellows are considered "Affiliates" and are eligible for enrollment in the Harvard Student Health Plan, when they have a current appointment with the university, and when they are not eligible for employee benefits either through the university or BWH. For Postdoctoral Fellows, there is no limitation to the number of years that they may be enrolled in the Harvard Student Health Plan as long as they maintain a Harvard Appointment as a Postdoctoral Fellow through BWH. Enrollment is for a full semester (2/1/08-7/31/08 or 8/1/08-1/31/09) or full year (2/1/08-1/31/09) only, and plans are not pro-rated. In light of this, others have enrolled prospectively for the following semester, and have purchased some type of travel insurance or catastrophic insurance for the dates before their HUHS coverage goes into effect - which tends to be lower cost. |
