Access to healthcare is a fundamental right,
not a luxury.

Many universities and colleges require students to enroll in their health insurance plans, which can cost between $6,000 and $7,000 per year. An Essential Plan should meet these requirements and provide a cost-effective alternative.

The Essential Plan offers completely free health insurance for eligible international students, helping them save the substantial cost of mandatory college health insurance plans.

By enrolling in the Essential Plan, students can waive the expensive college insurance costs, ensuring they remain compliant with university regulations without the financial burden.

The plan should cover a wide range of medical services, including doctor visits, hospitalization, emergency services, prescription drugs, and mental health services. This ensures students have access to necessary medical care without facing financial burdens.

 Coverage for preventive services such as vaccinations, screenings, and wellness check-ups is crucial. These services help students maintain their health and catch potential issues early.

 Emergency medical evacuation and repatriation are essential for international students. These benefits ensure that students can be transported back to their home country for medical treatment if necessary.

Access to a wide network of healthcare providers, including hospitals and specialists, ensures that students can receive care wherever they are studying.

 Providing round-the-clock customer service support is vital for students who may need assistance at any time, given the differences in time zones and the potential for urgent medical issues.

Since international students come from diverse linguistic backgrounds, offering multilingual customer service can help them better understand their insurance coverage and benefits.

The plan must comply with U.S. regulations and the requirements set by the Department of State for J1 visa holders, ensuring that the coverage meets all necessary legal standards.
