If you are an international student studying at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, check out our StudentSecure-ERAU plan that will meet your school’s insurance requirements.

International students at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University at the Daytona Beach, Florida campus are required to have health insurance while studying in the US. While the university has a group health insurance plan available, international students have the flexibility to enroll in the school’s insurance plan or waive the group plan by purchasing their own private health insurance plan.

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Insurance Requirements for International Students

If you are looking to enroll in a private health insurance plan, it is important to note that Embry-Riddle does require that your insurance plan meet the following requirements:

• The insurance company is based in the US with a US address and phone number
• Your plan provides for both emergency and non-emergency health care in Florida
• Your plan has hospitals, physicians, pharmacies, and mental health care providers within 50-mile of campus
• You plan provides inpatient/outpatient mental health care and chemical dependency

• You can afford your plan’s deductible
• Your plan has a maximum coverage benefit of at least $1,000,000

Before enrolling in any insurance plan, make sure that the plan will meet each of these requirements so that it will be accepted by your school.
