Student Insurance

Compare and Buy International Student Insurance

Student Insurance PlansIf you are planning to study abroad at an international school or university, you will be required by both your school and your host country to have adequate international student insurance when you are visiting. To make sure you have the right plan, International Citizens Insurance provides a range of options that will meet or exceed most visa insurance requirements and most schools’ overseas student health cover.

Insurance for US Students Studying Abroad

Our Study Abroad Insurance Plans are for US Citizens studying abroad or enrolled directly at a foreign school.  In either case, make sure you have reviewed your insurance coverage options.  You may be able to save money and get additional benefits from buying a plan directly from one of our providers.  Make sure you review the student health insurance package of benefits, exclusions, and coverage amounts to ensure you are getting what you need – at the right price.

International Student Insurance

Our International Student Health Insurance plans are available to anyone studying in a foreign country.  You may choose to purchase a policy on your own as an alternative to the plan the school offers.  In some cases, you can lower your costs while securing a better plan when you buy outside of the school plan.  This often makes more sense for older students, OPT participants, married students or students with families.

International Student Health Insurance Plan Requirements

Most universities and colleges require their students to purchase an international student health insurance plan for their enrollment period. These requirements can vary depending on your university or college and can apply to any student or dependents traveling with you as well.

Although the student insurance requirements at your school can vary, you should make sure that your health insurance plan includes at least the following benefits:

Medical Coverage for Students

Universities, and typically the host country, require a minimum amount of medical coverage on your student health insurance plan. This dollar amount sets the minimum limit for eligible medical expenses that your student medical insurance plan will pay (and often a maximum amount). Review the maximum and minimum coverage for the policy as well as for each benefit. (For more comprehensive long-term international health insurance, or compare global health insurance plans.)

Emergency Medical Evacuation

Another important aspect of international student health insurance is emergency evacuation. This benefit of a study abroad insurance plan covers your costs if the local facilities in which you fall injured or ill do not have the capacity to give you proper care. If deemed necessary by the acting physician and your insurance company, this coverage will provide transportation to the nearest facility that can properly treat your condition. This type of coverage does not guarantee travel back to your home country in this situation unless deemed necessary by your attending physician.

Medical Evacuation and Repatriation

Student Evacuation and Repatriation

  • Annual coverage designed for J Visa and other visa holders.
  • For non-U.S. citizens and non-U.S. residents coming to the USA.
  • Includes 24 hour multilingual travel assistance.

Repatriation of Remains

Repatriation of Remains, or the Return of Mortal Remains, provides funds in the event of death while outside of your home country. In an unfortunate event like this, shipping your remains to your family back home can be expensive. This benefit will provide the proper planning, logistics, and financial coverage for your family members.

Medical Evacuation and Repatriation

Student Evacuation and Repatriation

  • Annual coverage designed for J Visa and other visa holders.
  • For non-U.S. citizens and non-U.S. residents coming to the USA.
  • Includes 24 hour multilingual travel assistance.
