International student insurance
International student medical insurance plans are for students who travel outside their home county for higher education. These student health insurance plans provide coverage for health expenses, prescription drugs, mental health coverage, and even pre existing conditions such as maternity expenses after a waiting period. International student insurance plans are designed to satisfy the requirements of American universities. To purchase student insurance, you should be either a full time student or a full time scholar performing research for a minimum of 30 hours every week in an educational institution. International student insurance plans usually require a valid educational visa as proof.
At http://www.americanvisitorinsurance.com, we have developed a student insurance comparison facility where you can get quotes of plans offered by different companies, as well as compare them based on different coverage details. You can select the plan that suits your specific needs best.
Some of the factors that you should consider other than the premium rates are the eligibility requirements and the waiting period for pre-existing condition coverage. Student insurance is also available for dependants of the actual students such as the spouse and child/children of the student. However you should have documentation to prove dependence. In the case of spouse a proof of marriage might be requested, and the dependant children should be less than 19 years old.
Quite often your university will ask for a insurance waiver form to be completed. This can be provided by the insurance provider from whom you purchase the insurance plan. At American visitor Insurance, we can facilitate getting the insurance waiver form completed.
