Find Reliable Health Insurance
The new semester is almost here, and you’ll likely need health insurance. Even if your visa and school do not require you to have coverage, we recommend that every international student explore purchasing health insurance for unforeseen illnesses and injuries. Plan costs can start as low as $30/month and include coverage for key benefits like:
- Emergency medical evacuation
- Doctor’s visits
- Hospitalization
- Repatriation of remains
- And much more
Get pricing information so you can find a plan that works for you this upcoming year.
