International Students Health Insurance – Student Secure Policy

Student medical health insurance is one of the most important requirements for an international student. Health care expenses are usually on the expensive side in all foreign countries and as such, it is very important that we take up International Student Insurance before we leave for our studies abroad.

HCC Medical Insurance Services has formulated a StudentSecure SM Medical Insurance plan specifically for international students. To help the students to choose easily, two levels of coverage are available – Select and Budget and they seek to cover aspects such as Medical Expenses, Emergency Medical Evacuation, and Acts of Terrorism and even pre-existing conditions which are covered after a year.

The Budget and Select types of coverage differ according to the amount they offer as coverage. While, the Select plan offers up to $300,000 as coverage, the Budget Plan offers up to $250,000 as coverage. Both these plans cover the factors of – Hospital Pre-Notification Penalty, Outpatient Treatment & Outpatient Prescription Drugs, Hospital Room & Board Local Ambulance Intensive Care Unit, Dental Treatment due to Accident, Dental Treatment to alleviate pain, Maternity Care for a Covered Pregnancy, , Mental Health Disorders and Routine Nursery Care of Newborn.

Apart from the above mentioned aspects, even the aspects of Benefit Period for coverage after Policy Termination Date, Emergency Medical Evacuation, Emergency Reunion and Accidental Death & Dismemberment, Therapeutic Termination of Pregnancy, Physical Therapy & Chiropractic Care, Intercollegiate, interscholastic, intramural, or club sports and Terrorism are included in International Student Health Insurance plans.

Full time students at a college or university holding a valid F-1 Visa in the United States are eligible for this plan. International students applying for this insurance must reside in a foreign country for the purpose of education and should not have access to a residency status.

We can extend the plan for a time period of twelve months after the date of purchase, after which we can also renew it for four years, the only condition being, we have to fulfill all the requirements of the plan.

It is very easy to enroll for this plan. We can easily and conveniently make our payment and submit our forms either by mail, fax or through an e-mail. We can expect an immediate response from the company and our insurance documents will be forwarded to us either through post or e-mail, depending on our choice.

These are a few features of the StudentSecure SM Medical Insurance plan.
