Health Insurance, Counseling Resources, and Disability Accommodation
Student Health Insurance is provided by CDPHP. The plan for the 2023-2024 academic year can be found here. Coverage is required for all MA students and for PhD students doing coursework (unless a student provides a waiver proving adequate coverage of their own). Plans are 12-months, running from August 1st to July 31st. Aside from BGC’s consulting therapist, students may consult the Montefiore Student Counseling Referral Program to help find a behavioral health provider.
