International Student Insurance

Question:

I am a 38-year-old international student attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida. I am looking for health insurance that meets the school's minimum requirements. Please advise me on what options I have to meet the requirements. The following shows the requirements. Your plan provides for both emergency and non-emergency health care in the state of Florida Your plan has participating hospitals, physicians, pharmacies, and mental health care providers within a 50-mile radius of the campus Your plan provides inpatient/outpatient mental health care and chemical dependency benefits in Florida Your plan has a benefit for prescription medications in Florida Your plan covers laboratory and radiology expenses in Florida Your plan provides essential services with unlimited lifetime maximums. Most domestic policies follow this criteria as guided by the current US regulations of the Affordable Care Act Repatriation: 25,000 coverage to return the student's remains to his/her native country Medical Evacuation: 50,000 to permit the patient to be transported to his/her home country and to be accompanied by a provider or escort if directed by the physician in charge. Thank you very much for your help.

Answer:

You will need to purchase the insurance provided by your university as they are the only ones that will be able to provide you the coverage necessary to meet the regulations of an ACA complaint plan.
