International Student Insurance

Question:

F1 insurance for a student Hi, I'm looking for insurance for my son, Australian, 17 years old, and will be studying full time and playing intercollegiate soccer at Jefferson Community College, Watertown, NY. He will initially require cover for one year with possibly extending to 2 years. We require comprehensive cover which will cover him, his personal property, travel, injury, sickness etc. We would prefer cover which has no excess payable when making claims. Hope you can help.

Answer:

Thank you for contacting Insubuy for your insurance needs. Please provide the visa type that your son will be arriving into the United States on as well as any requirements that the college may have for insurance that need to be met. Upon receiving this information we can properly recommend a plan for coverage.


Thanks for getting back to me. My son has an F1 visa and will be arriving in the US on 31 July. Jefferson Community College has a health care plan but I'm not sure that it covers him for the entire time that he's in the US. I'm still trying to get some answers from them about what he's covered for. We require a comprehensive insurance and preferably one where we don't need to pay an excess when my son makes claims. I look forward to hearing back from you.
