Worldwide Medical Insurance for International Students and Scholars
1 Month to 5 Years
Hello. Hola. Hallo. Hej. 您好.
You can greet someone in a foreign country in many ways. When you travel, stay safe and secure by saying hello to Student Health AdvantageSM, a one-of-a-kind international medical insurance plan that brings you Global Peace of Mind® when you're traveling abroad.
As an international student or scholar, the thrill of studying abroad is extraordinary. Your new surroundings are amazing and you're involved in new and exciting experiences. You're seeing and visiting places for the first time, while receiving the benefits of a long-term education.
Caught up in all of the excitement, you may not think about falling ill or becoming injured during your studies. Without warning, your experience abroad can quickly become frightening and risky if you're not prepared for a medical emergency. As an international student, peace of mind is a priority when you study abroad.
Your educational adventure or cultural exchange program should be enjoyable and gratifying. Maintaining the ability to be flexible and responsive, Student Health AdvantageSM is an international medical plan designed to specifically meet the needs of international students, scholars, and people involved in long-term educational and cultural exchange programs. The plan offers a complete package of benefits while outside your home country available 24-hours a day, providing you with Global Peace of Mind®. After all, you are global. Your medical insurance should be too.
Non-U.S. Citizens: As non-resident aliens, international students, scholars, and people involved in cultural exchange programs on F, J, M and Q visas (and certain family members) are not subject to the individual mandate for their first five years in the U.S. All other J categories (teacher, trainee, work and travel, au pair, high school, etc.) are not subject to the individual mandate for two years (out of the past six). Since international students are not subject to the mandate, they are eligible to purchase Student Health Advantage.
U.S. Citizens: Under ACA, all U.S. citizens, nationals and resident aliens are required to purchase minimum essential coverage (ACA compliant coverage), unless they are exempt. Exempt U.S. citizens include U.S. citizens who reside outside of the U.S. for 330 of any 365-day period, or have a tax home (main place of work or employment, or if you don't have a main place of work or employment, your main residence) in a foreign country, and is a bona fide resident of a foreign country.
Please note that this insurance is not subject to, and does not provide benefits required by, ACA. Since January 1, 2014, ACA requires U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals and resident-aliens to obtain ACA compliant insurance coverage unless they are exempt from ACA (international students on F, J, M and Q visas (and certain family members of students) are not subject to the individual mandate for their first 5 years in the U.S. All other J categories - teacher, trainee, work and travel, au pair, high school, etc. - are not subject to the individual mandate for 2 years out of the past six). Penalties may be imposed on persons who are required to maintain ACA compliant coverage but do not do so. Eligibility to purchase or renew this product, or its terms and conditions, may be modified or amended based upon changes to applicable law, including ACA. Please note that it is solely your responsibility to determine if ACA is applicable to you and the Company and the administrator shall have no liability whatsoever, including for any penalties that you may incur, for your failure to obtain required ACA compliant coverage. For information on whether ACA applies to you or whether you are eligible to purchase Student Health Advantage, you should contact your attorney to obtain advice with respect to any particular issue or problem.The materials available on this website are for informational purposes only and not for the purpose of providing legal advice.
We know that the reasons for traveling abroad are many and varied - that's why our products are too. Our full-service approach to providing international medical insurance products includes servicing vacationers, those working or living abroad for short or extended periods, people traveling frequently between countries, and those who maintain multiple countries of residence.
But providing insurance coverage is not enough. It's the service and support that matters the most. Since 1990, We've served millions of people around the globe with customer service that's second to none. We provide on-site medical staff who are available 24 hours a day for emergencies, multilingual customer service professionals and dedicated claims administrators who process tens of thousands of claims each year from all over the world. We're with you, providing you Global Peace of Mind®.

1) Coverage and benefits are subject to the deductible limits, and coinsurance, and all terms of the insurance contract, which includes the master policy and all governing documents, as summarized in the certificate of insurance. 2) Coverage under a Student Health Advantage plan is secondary to any other coverage. 3) Coverage and benefits are for eligible medical expenses which are medically necessary and usual, reasonable and customary. 4) Charges must be administered or ordered by a licensed physician. 5) Charges must be incurred during the period of coverage.
Eligible insureds whose initial coverage is at least three months can request coverage under the plan be renewed monthly for up to 12 month periods, for a maximum of 60 continuous months, as long as the premium is paid when due and the insured continues to meet the eligibility requirements of the plan.

*Benefits are subject to exclusions and limitations. This is only a summary and does not supersede in any way the Certificate of Insurance and governing policy documents (together the "Insurance Contract"). The Insurance Contract is the only source of the actual benefits provided.
Certain treatment and supplies including hospital admission, inpatient or out-patient surgery, and other procedures as noted in the certificate wording must be precertified for medical necessity, which means the insured person or their attending physician must communicate with a representative at the number listed on the ID card prior to admission to a hospital, before receiving certain treatments and supplies, or performance of a surgery. In case of an emergency admission, the precertification must be made within 48 hours of the admission, or as soon as reasonably possible. If a hospital admission or a surgery is not precertified, eligible claims and expenses will be reduced by 50%. It is important to note that precertification is only a determination of medical necessity, not an assurance of coverage, verification of benefits or a guarantee of payment. All medical expenses eligible for reimbursement must be medically necessary and will be paid or reimbursed at usual, reasonable and customary rates. Please refer to the certificate wording for full details of the precertification requirements.
For Precertification, emergency evacuation and repatriation, please call: In the U.S.: 1-800-628-4664 (toll free) or 1-317-655-4500. Outside the U.S.: 001-317-655-4500 (collect if necessary). This information will also be provided on your ID card.
Note: You may begin the precertification process through MyAccount. Simply look for the precertification option. You will be asked to provide the required information, which can then be submitted electronically. Once we have received all required information and medical records, our utilization management and review team will review the information provided and normally responds to the insured person or the provider within two business days. Please note that this online service will only initiate the process for treatment and supplies outlined in the contract, and it should not be used to request precertification for emergency admissions, procedures or evacuations.
All benefits payable under Student Health Advantage are subject to the terms and conditions in the certificate of insurance. To make claim processing efficient, claims for eligible medical expenses may be paid in two ways:
