International Student Health Insurance Requirements

ALL INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE WHILE ATTENDING KUTZTOWN UNIVERSITY

International students at Kutztown University are required to carry adequate health insurance in the United States to be effective for all periods of time the student has been authorized to be in the United States by an immigration document issued by the University. Healthcare is expensive in the United States, and international students are responsible for any costs associated with their physical or mental health. Please note that most health insurance in the U.S. does not cover all medical benefits like prescriptions, dental, and vision. Health insurance policies must be purchased through a company that sells insurance in the United States. Kutztown University complies with the coverage standards set forth by the Department of State which must be met by all policies:

? Medical Benefits of at least $100,000 per accident or illness ? Repatriation of Remains in the amount of $25,000 ? Expenses associated with the medical evacuation of the student to his or her home

country in the amount of $50,000 ? A deductible not to exceed $500 per accident or illness Kutztown University currently recommends ISO International Student Insurance. ISO has setup three policy choices that meet university coverage standards. Please review them closely to choose the best plan for you. If you will not be using ISO, you are required to complete and return the International Student Health Insurance Form on Page 2 to international@kutztown.edu.
