The United States attracts the largest number of international students in the world. Studying in the US along with providing excellent facilities in the field of educational choice also gives students an excellent opportunity to interact with students around the world. However international students in the US should make sure that they get proper student insurance in the US. Why do students need to buy insurance ?

• International students (F visa holders) or visiting scholars (J visa holders) and their families or dependents are not covered under any kind of medical insurance plans either by the educational universities or the state/federal government in the United States.
• International students are not eligible for any of the state provided healthcare facilities that are provided only to US citizens

As a consequence of this, students who do not have proper insurance face the risk of having to undergo any medical treatment at huge expenses. Students can study with any health care related financial risks by purchasing good student insurance. We have developed a student insurance comparison tool, which helps students compare insurance plans based on premiums as well as coverage details. The student can compare as well as purchase the insurance online. Coverage can start as early as the following day.
