If you will be studying at Miami-Dade College (MDC) as an international student, you will be required to purchase health insurance for a full academic year. In order to meet their insurance requirements, your plan must be continuous meaning that the plan must be renewed each year with no break in coverage. Miami-Dade College will not allow an international student to register for classes until they show proof of insurance coverage.
You may be asking yourself, why do I need to have health insurance? The United States has the most expensive health care in the world, and going to the hospital can cost thousands – or even hundreds of thousands – of dollars. Because of this, many schools like Miami-Dade College – require that all international students have adequate medical coverage during their time in college.
The Student Health plan comes in four different levels – all of which will exceed your school’s health insurance requirements. The plan provides comprehensive coverage that includes:
- Doctor Visits
- Hospitalization
- Prescription Medication
- Emergency Medical Evacuation
- Repatriation
- Mental Health
International students can purchase the plan right online, and they will receive a confirmation email instantly. Students can then contact the International Student Services Office to show proof of insurance coverage.
