What is the difference between the Smart, Budget, Select and Elite plans?
The StudentSecure plan comes in four plan options; Smart, Budget, Select and Elite. The main differences between the four plans falls into two main areas 1) Differences in benefit levels and 2) Out of Pocket expenses you will need to pay.
The main benefit differences are as listed in our benefits table, where the Elite typically has higher coverage levels for each benefit, and then the Smart, Budget and Select plans are more restricted or may not cover all benefits. For the out of pocket differences, please see the Frequently Asked Questions listed below as they deal with the deductible and coinsurance differences on each plan level.
What is a deductible?
The deductible is the amount you are required to pay to the doctor or hospital before the insurance company will pay toward your eligible expenses. On the Student Secure plan, every level of the plan has a $0 deductible. This means you don’t have a deductible to pay. Instead, the plan has different co-pays that you will need to pay each time you get medical treatment.
What is a co-pay?
The copay is the amount you are required to pay to the doctor or hospital each visit before the insurance company pays toward your eligible expenses. On this plan, the copays vary based on the plan level you choose and where you seek treatment. The following are the co-pay amounts of this plan:
- ER Co-Pay: Co-pay due for any visits to the emergency room inside a hospital.
- Student Health Center Co-pay: Co-pay due each time you go to your school’s student health center, or if you use a virtual consultation service.
- Physician Office Co-Pay: Co-pay due for a doctor's office visit.
- Urgent Care or Walk-In Clinic Co-Pay: Co-pay paid each time you go to an Urgent Care Clinic or Walk-in Clinic, such as CVS MinuteClinic or Walgreens Healthcare Clinic.
- Hospital Inpatient/Outpatient Co-pay: Co-pay due for any inpatient or outpatient treatment received inside the hospital.
What is coinsurance?
After the deductible, coinsurance applies to your benefits, and this is the cost sharing between you and the insurance plan. This is typically referred to as a percentage that the plan will pay, for example if there is 80% coverage — the insurance plan will pay 80% and you will need to pay the remaining 20%.
The coinsurance on the Student Secure plan when seeking treatment in the network inside the United States is as follows:
- Smart plan is 80% coverage for the first $100,000 of your medical costs, then 100% after, up to the overall maximum limit.
- Budget plan is 80% coverage for the first $45,000 of your medical costs, then 100% after, up to the overall maximum limit.
- Select plan is 80% coverage for the first $25,000 of your medical costs, then 100% after, up to the overall maximum limit.
- Elite plan is 80% coverage for the first $10,000 of your medical costs, then 100% after, up to the overall maximum limit.
Does my plan include home country coverage?
Yes, the plan provides the following home country coverage options:
Incidental Home Country Coverage
You must have purchased three months of coverage for the Incidental Home Country Coverage to be in effect. For every three-month period during which you are covered, eligible medical expenses are covered up to a maximum of 15 days for any three-month period.
Any benefit accrued under a single three-month period does not accumulate to another period. Failure to continue your international trip or your return to your home country for the sole purpose of obtaining treatment for an illness or injury that began while traveling shall void any incidental home country coverage.
For all non-U.S. citizens electing coverage “Excluding the U.S.” and for all U.S. citizens or residents, no coverage is provided within the U.S., except for U.S. citizens or residents during an eligible incidental home country visit or an eligible benefit period.
Benefit Period
While the certificate is in effect, the benefit period does not apply. Upon termination of the certificate, WorldTrips will pay eligible medical expenses for up to 60 days beginning on the first day of diagnosis or treatment of a covered injury or illness while you are outside your home country and while this certificate is in effect. The benefit period applies only to eligible medical expenses related to a condition for which you are hospitalized as an inpatient on the termination date of the certificate.
In the event you begin a benefit period while the certificate is in effect, and the certificate terminates because you return to your home country, WorldTrips will pay eligible medical expenses which are incurred in your home country during the benefit period. Home country coverage applies only to eligible medical expenses for which you are hospitalized as an inpatient on the termination date of the certificate.What is the VantageAmerica Discount Card?
For policies purchased with a United States destination, you will be provided with a VantageAmerica Discount Pharmacy Card. This card will provide discounts on most FDA approved prescription drugs at over 54,000 participating pharmacies across the United States, and will save you an average 5%-15% off the cash price for brand drugs and an average 15%-40% of the price of generic drugs.

Which doctors or hospitals can I go to?
You are free to visit any doctor or hospital (known as providers) that you wish when seeking treatment. However, we do suggest you visit the providers mentioned below, as you will generally have less out of pocket expenses.
- Student Health Center
- Most schools offer a student health center which should be your first option in seeking treatment.
- Preferred Provider Organization
-
The StudentSecure plan uses a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO), and we strongly recommend utilizing this network of doctors when seeking treatment. Your plan uses the following network depending on the following conditions:
United Healthcare Network
- Non-EU citizens that purchased coverage between July 1, 2019 - March 31, 2020
- Any policies purchased on or after April 1, 2020
How do I know which network my plan uses?
The Student Secure plan works with a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) called the UnitedHealthcare Network. With this plan, you can visit any provider that you’d like, however, we strongly recommend visiting a provider within this network, as you will potentially benefit from lower out-of-pocket expenses, and generally, the provider will be able to direct bill the insurance company, so you won’t need to pay for the full amount of the services upfront, at the time of treatment.
To find providers in the UnitedHealthcare Network in your area, please visit the network page or if you need help finding a provider, please contact us.
What is preventative care and is it covered in this plan?
Preventative or routine care refers to routine physical exams, diagnostic labs, x-rays, and procedures for screening or preventative purposes.
The Student Secure plan offers preventative care coverage on the Elite level of the plan. The plan would cover a maximum of $200 per certificate period after the policy has been active for 6 months.
How are claims paid?
Claims are paid depending on where you are located and where you seek treatment:
- In-network while inside the USA
- When you visit a provider that is part of the Preferred Provider Organization, your insurance bill is typically paid directly. You will need to complete a claim form and email this to WorldTrips for processing, along with a copy of your visa and student status.
- Out-of-network while inside the USA
- When you visit a provider that is outside the network, you will need to pay for all services up front and then submit your bills and receipts, along with a claim form and a copy of your visa and student status, for reimbursement to WorldTrips.
- Outside the USA
- When visiting a provider around the world, please pay for the services up front and then submit your bills and receipts, along with a claim form and a copy of your visa and student status, for reimbursement to WorldTrips.
You can access the claims form through your online Student Zone and email this to service@worldtrips.com for processing.
