    What is covered and not covered?

    The insurance company will generally pay for new medical conditions, injuries (caused either by accidents or otherwise) or sicknesses that occur after the effective date of the policy. Coverage for pre-existing conditions has a waiting period that varies by plan. One (1) routine physical is covered; however, immunizations are not covered. The Standard plan includes coverage for acute onset of pre-existing conditions up to $5,000. As long as the person is not already pregnant as of the effective date, maternity is covered at 80% to the specified amount per plan, or the Usual, Reasonable and Customary out of network to the specified amount.

    Prescription drugs are covered just like any other eligible medical expenses. More information.

    Dental is not covered in the Standard plan; the Preferred and Platinum plans offer a maximum of $1,000 if there is an accident and $100 for acute onset of pain. Consider a low cost plan from Careington that provides excellent coverage.

    Study USA - HealthCare provides coverage as long as you are a full-time international student taking classes in the U.S., up to maximum of 4 years. Study USA - HealthCare meets the requirements of most universities for international students on an F-1 visa. Additionally, you are eligible if you are on J-1 visa and doing scholarly research at an educational institution.

    How do I use the insurance?

    Please look at the detailed description.

    How much is covered?

    • With the Standard Plan you have to pay a $100 deductible per incident as long as you visit a provider within the PPO network or you visit your student health center. You have to pay a $250 deductible per incident outside the network. For all eligible expenses, the insurance company will pay 80% up to the overall policy maximum.
    • With the Preferred Plan you have to pay a $50 deductible per incident as long as you visit a provider within the PPO network or you visit your student health center. You have to pay a $150 deductible per incident outside the network. For all eligible expenses, the insurance company will pay 80% for the first $25,000, then 100% up to the overall policy maximum.
    • With the Platinum Plan you have to pay a $25 deductible per incident as long as you visit a provider within the PPO network or you visit your student health center. You have to pay a $100 deductible per incident outside the network. For all eligible expenses, the insurance company will pay 85% for the first $10,000, then 100% up to the overall policy maximum.

    Example:

    Let's assume that you have purchased the Standard Plan ($200,000 policy maximum) for 6 months.

    • Let's assume that the doctor charges you $150/visit and you need to visit 4 times.

      If you visit the student health center first or if you visit the providers in the United Healthcare PPO Network; you will first pay $100 deductible, then you will have to pay 20% for each visit.

      The first visit you pay $100, this satisfies the deductible, then pay 20% of the remaining $50 which is $10, the plan pays the other $40. For the remaining 3 visits you would pay 20% of $150 which is $30 and the plan pays the rest.

      Otherwise, you will have to pay $250 deductible outside the network. Then 20% for each visit.

    • Let's assume that you were in an accident and are hospitalized for 4 days. The hospital charges $10,000 per day for a total bill of $40,000.

      Assuming this is the first instance of your needing to use the insurance, you will cover the $100 deductible plus $8,000 (20% of overall policy maximum) and the insurance company will pay the rest.
