The importance of taking an international student medical insurance by students who are planning to study abroad cannot be under-estimated. With the rising medical costs world over, it becomes very essential for every international student to be covered under International Student Insurance.
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.
Both the Select and Budget levels offer different levels of coverage. Coverage up to $300,000 is provided under the Select level, whereas coverage up to $250,000 is available under the Budget option. The important aspects that these plans cover are – Dental Treatment due to Accident, Dental Treatment to alleviate pain, Maternity Care for a Covered Pregnancy, Routine Nursery Care of Newborn, Hospital Room & Board Local Ambulance Intensive Care Unit, Hospital Pre-Notification Penalty, Outpatient Treatment & Outpatient Prescription Drugs and Mental Health Disorders.
StudentSecure International Student Insurance also covers factors like Therapeutic Termination of Pregnancy, Physical Therapy & Chiropractic Care, Intercollegiate, interscholastic, intramural, or club sports, Terrorism, Benefit Period for coverage after Policy Termination Date, Emergency Medical Evacuation, Emergency Reunion and Accidental Death & Dismemberment.
The eligibility for this plan is to be a full time student possessing a valid F-1 visa in the United States. It is also essential that no type of residential status is attained by these students who reside in a foreign country for the purpose of higher education.
We can extend the plan up to a year from the initial date of payment and afterward if we want, we can renew it to a time period of four years. Renewal of the plan is possible only if we continue to meet all the plan pre-requisites and is possible for maximum four years, after which we need to opt for a new plan.
Enrolling for the Student Secure Insurance plan is quiet simple. You can complete the application online, fax the application or mail the application with your preferred payment mode. The insurance documents can be emailed which can be downloaded within minutes after you submit the application. You can also opt for the documents to be mailed to you.
These are a few features of the StudentSecure SM Medical Insurance plan.
