What should you look for when buying international student health
insurance?
When choosing a student health insurance plan, you should look for the plan that
best fits your needs and budget. Start by doing some “shopping”. Begin
your search at your school's international student office. It is a good source for
information and alternative student health insurance. After you gathered all the
information you need, read the brochures of the different plans. Start by comparing
maximum benefits, co-insurance and Deductible.
Coverage for each of these benefits should help you determining the value of each
plan. Check the availability of doctors in your area. Check how limited is the plan's
PPO network of service provider and how much will it cost you to go to a qualified
doctor which is out of the network. Finally, make sure the plan covers you for medical
evacuation and repatriation as well.
