International Students: Do you have coverage for summer?

As an international student studying in the US, it is recommended that you have health insurance in place during your summer months while you are not in school. While most schools have insurance plans that may require that you continue coverage during these summer months, other schools may not have this restriction. If you have a current plan, we recommend contacting your current insurer to confirm that you are insured year round. As an international student, you may already be aware that medical expenses in the United States can add up quickly. With the use of the emergency room or a visit to the hospital, your bill can easily add up to thousands of dollars. Don’t let this happen to you!

Our international student insurance plan will work for you as an international student on a F-1 visa. This is an important considerations for students arriving prior to your classes or those who do not have a plan between terms. The international student insurance plan can be purchased in monthly increments.

This plan works well if you are looking for an annually renewable plan or if you are looking for gap coverage. You can purchase this plan for as little as one month with the option to renew up to 4 years in total. The summer international student insurance plan is available in three levels allowing you to choose the coverage best suited for you. All of our plans provide coverage for doctor visits, hospitalization, prescription medication, emergency medical evacuation, repatriation, etc. You can also purchase a plan that includes coverage for pre-existing conditions (after a one year waiting period), mental health, sports, and maternity.

You can insure just yourself, or your dependents under one plan. Once you purchase the plan, you will have access to your account and travel assistance 24 hours a day. If you have any questions, please contact one of our licensed agents to assist in choosing the right plan for you.
