Scholars

Most visiting scholars will be able to purchase the Carnegie Mellon insurance after arriving on campus. You may want to purchase short-term travel insurance at home to cover you before your Carnegie Mellon insurance becomes active. You may purchase partial year coverage if you will be at Carnegie Mellon for less than one year.

For more information about Carnegie Mellon Health Services or health insurance please go to the Health Services website at: CMU Student Health Center or email Health Services directly: . Please note that the CMU Health Insurance meets the J requirements.

If you are paid a salary by your Carnegie Mellon department and will receive benefits, you will purchase health insurance (as well as dental and eye coverage) at a subsidized rate through the university. Spouse or family coverage could cost a couple of hundred of dollars per month depending on the health insurance coverage which you choose.
