Q:I need to follow the all requirements. I am 26 and have lived U.S for 2 year and half. I'm from South Korea. Thank you. In order to waive the Penn State Student Health Insurance plan (SHIP). Your current health insurance coverage must meet these requirements. 1. U.S. carrier or entity is approved to do business in the U.S. and compliant with all guidelines of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) 2. Carrier has a filed and approved health insurance policy with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Insurance or has a sponsored insurance plan that meets the waiver standards and is approved by the Student Health Insurance Office, together with a letter of financial guarantee directly from the plan sponsor 3. Coverage for 100% of preventive and contraceptive care (preventive examinations, immunizations and screening tests, as required by the PPACA and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for student health insurance plans) 4. Coverage for pre-existing conditions with no waiting period 5. Deductible no greater than $500; 6. Coverage for all essential benefits for accident and sickness, including prescription drug coverage, without limitation 7. Maternity Benefits (or Pregnancy) covered as any other illness or injury; 8. Inpatient and outpatient mental health/substance abuse as any other condition 9. No exclusions for injury or illness as a result of alcohol, drugs or attempted suicide 10. Worldwide coverage 11. $3,000 In-Network out-of-pocket maximum 12. $15,000/$30,000 Out-of-Network out-of-pocket maximum 13. OR U.S. employer-sponsored health insurance in place of standards 1-12; 14. And Medical evacuation ($100,000/Repatriation ($50,000) minimum limits. Please Note: new waiver requirements for 2017-18 require all plans to be filed with the Pennsylvania Department of Insurance, or be approved by the Penn State Student Health Insurance Office and accompanied by a letter of financial guarantee for services not covered from the plan sponsor. This will eliminate short-term International Standards Organization (ISO) plans. In addition, Penn State students will no longer be eligible to purchase health insurance plans through Student Medicover, as part of a new agreement with United Healthcare Student Resources.

A:
Please be advised that we do not offer plans that will meet the below requirements. Your school is requiring an ACA compliant plan. The only place we know of where an F1 visa holder can obtain this type of coverage is through the school itself.

Q:I want to obtain visitors insurance for 3 people - my mom, dad and sisters. Your website allows me to quote only 2 people. Can you please help. I am interested in the Fixed visitor's care by Sirius International.

A:
Thank you for contacting Insubuy for your insurance needs. It would be separate plans. One plan for your parents and another for your sister. Just to let you know, a fixed plan is very basic and will only pay a fixed amount according to a schedule of benefits so if anything happens the majority of the cost will come from your pocket. If you need additional assistance please feel free to contact our office.

Q:Hi, I am an international graduate student at Penn State and I was looking at health insurance providers that can fulfill the waiver requirements. I did find a quote for a reasonable price on your website, but I'm not sure if the plan meets all the waiver requirements. Do your plans meet the current year requirements and can be accepted through by the university? Also, regarding the plans, what are the most suitable ones? I will be willing to receive a quote if it works out. For your reference, I am attaching a link of the page containing the waiver criteria. Please let me know if you can fulfill those: https://studentaffairs.psu.edu/requirements-international-students

A:
There are no plans available which will meet the University's requirements, as you require a plan that is Affordable Care Act compliant. We would recommend purchasing from your University directly.
