Any student, regardless of insurance coverage, may use Carbon Student Health Services in the Tree House. Except for students choosing to self-pay, Carbon Student Health Services will bill students’ insurance as follows*:
- For students covered by commercial insurance (i.e., non-governmental insurance) Wentworth’s Student Administrative Health Fee (SAHF) benefits pays up to the first $35 of eligible charges incurred at the Tree House clinic that are not paid by students’ commercial health insurance.
- For students covered by MassHealth (Medicaid) or Tricare, Wentworth’s SAHF pays the first $35 of eligible charges before billing is submitted to MassHealth or Tricare.
- Out-of-state Medicaid is not accepted at the Tree House Clinic. Students with out-of-state Medicaid should not waive the Wentworth Student health Plan.
All eligible services and benefits, and other terms and conditions, are governed solely by the SAHF plan document.

* SAHF funds may be available to cover charges incurred at the Tree House clinic when Wentworth determines it is in the best interests of either the student or Wentworth to not bill insurance if doing so would jeopardize the student’s wellbeing.
