Health Insurance Tips
Finding affordable health insurance can be an issue for artists and designers. While we continually look at ways to help our alumni find and keep health insurance, ongoing changes to national healthcare policy can create obstacles.
To help you navigate your health insurance options, we have compiled the following resources both for alumni within Massachusetts and those living elsewhere. If you find another helpful resource, please contact us so that we can add it to this list of resources.
RESOURCES FOR MASSACHUSETTS RESIDENTS
