MSUB Student Health Insurance
All students taking six (6) or more credits are required to have and maintain medical insurance for the duration of their time attending Montana State University Billings. MSUB offers a comprehensive health insurance plan to students, or you can acquire your own insurance.
The Montana University System contracts with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Montana to provide an insurance plan specifically for students. The student insurance plan is in full compliance with the Affordable Care Act and, for many students, may be a better value than other coverage, including as a dependent on a parent's coverage. To learn more about the plan's benefit coverage contact the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Montana Deticated Student Service Team at 1-855-267-0214.
