The Student Secure Elite and the Student Health Advantage Platinum will meet the University of Memphis’s health insurance requirements.
Why the University of Memphis?
International students with a love of country, rock and roll, or the blues might be considering studying abroad in Memphis, Tennessee. Tennessee boasts a mild climate, with temperatures ranging from 80 plus degrees in the summer and 40 degrees in the winter months. Major industries in Tennessee include manufacturing, health care, and automotives, so international students interested in any of these fields might consider basing their studies in Tennessee.
Health Insurance Requirements for International Students
The University of Memphis requires that all international students who are enrolled in credit or non-credit courses at the university maintain adequate international student health insurance coverage for major medical, repatriation of remains, and medical evacuation throughout the duration of their studies at the university, including periods when the student is not registered for classes. The student’s insurance coverage must include:
- Major Medical Expenses Coverage: $500,000 USD per injury or sickness to match the current plan
- Repatriation Expense: In the event of the death of the insured person, expenses as may reasonably be incurred will be payable up to $50,000 USD for returning the body of the insured person to his/her place of residence in his/her home country.
- Medical Evacuation Expenses: If the insured person is unable to continue his/her academic program due to injury or sickness, expenses as may reasonably be incurred will be payable up to $25,000 to evacuate the student to another medical facility or to their home country.
While the University of Memphis does offer a school sponsored health insurance plan, it can be more expensive than other insurance policies that offer just as much coverage.
