Why Purchase a Student Health Insurance Plan?


  • Enrollment periods are specific to your academic schedule.

  • Coverage is continuous during your academic career, 24 hours a day, anywhere in the world--summer break included.

  • The cost of a student health insurance plan is typically only about one-third the cost of an employer plan or individual coverage.

  • The student health insurance plan coordinates care with each campus and its local community providers to ensure access to the best medical care.

  • In most cases, a student health insurance plan will include a worldwide travel assistance service offering unlimited emergency medical evacuation services.

  • Spouse and dependent coverage is available at most schools.
