International Student Insurance

Question:

Hello, I am an F1 visa student here at United States. I want to confirm if my College criteria matched with your insurance policy or not. My college is Houston community college, Houston, Texas 77002. These are my College criteria. Does that works for me to have your insurance plans? Thank you I. Acceptable Alternate Health Insurance Plans: 1. A government or scholarship sponsored plan that meets Houston Community College's waiver criteria; or 2. A job-based employer health insurance plan (or covered as a dependent under a job-based employer health insurance plan). Note: individual policies (example: Plans offered online to individuals) are not considered acceptable alternate insurance and will not be accepted. II. Waiver Criteria: Alternate health insurance plans must offer coverage that is comparable to or greater than the following criteria: 1. Coverage dates must include the entire coverage period you are waiving; 2. Medical benefits of at least $50,000 in US dollars for each accident or sickness; 3. Policy must have an annual deductible of no more than U.S. $500 (A Health Care Spending account is not acceptable as an alternative); 4. Covered benefits paid at a minimum of 75%; 5. Repatriation of Mortal Remains of at least $7,500 in US dollars and Medical Evacuation of at least $10,000 in US dollars. (A nominal charge will be added to your student account for Repatriation and Medical Evacuation benefits if they are not included in an otherwise acceptable policy); and 6. Policy should not exclude or unreasonably limit coverage for activities essential for students (such as a $10,000 limit on motor vehicle accidents; a 13 week benefit period).
