Curry Health Center

Plan Ahead for 2026:

Starting January 1, 2026,

Curry Health Center’s medical clinic will begin billing health insurance for services. Currently, students pay the health services fee and out-of-pocket costs set by CHC, with no insurance billing — everyone pays the same amount for services. Beginning Spring 2026, students will need to either use insurance or pay out of pocket at rates determined by their coverage. Make sure you're prepared with a plan through a parent, employer, private provider, or AcademicBlue (SHIP). Please plan ahead and reach out to contactcurry@mso.umt.edu with questions.

If you need assistance with obtaining the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP), contact us at studentinsurance@mso.umt.edu or 406-243-2844.

Eligibility

  • SHIP is only available to actively registered students enrolled in 6 credits
  • There is no family coverage available
  • Taking 1–5 credits? You might still be eligible to petition for SHIP if you were enrolled last semester.
    To find out if you’re eligible to petition, email studentinsurance@mso.umt.edu from your official UM email and include your 790#

Enrollment

  • When you register for classes, you’ll see a prompt to make a health insurance selection in GrizPortal. That’s when you can choose to enroll in SHIP.
  • Before you elect to purchase, be sure to read about the plan first in the ‘Student Health Insurance Plan’ section on the left.

Note: Your plan enrollment coverage only activates after you’ve finalized/paid your tuition bill. For questions about your tuition bill, email UMstudentaccts@mso.umt.edu.
