NHTI requires proof of current health insurance for students enrolled in an Allied Health program or playing on an NHTI athletic team. NHTI does not provide access to health insurance; it is up to the student to obtain health insurance. A copy of a student’s current insurance card must be provided to Health Services prior to the start of any Allied Health or athletic team program. Active military can submit a copy of a military ID.
Health insurance must meet the following criteria:
- Be a U.S.-based insurance plan
- Provide the 10 essential health benefits specified in the Affordable Care Act (ACA)
- Include access to hospital and physician providers local to NHTI
- Remain in effect for the entire semester
The following plans do not meet the criteria:
- An accident-only policy
- A short-term limited duration health plan that does not meet ACA requirements
- A ministry sharing plan
- Any other health benefits program not recognized by the state of N.H. as being health insurance
