Why Choose StudentSecure® ?
For individuals in study abroad programs, StudentSecure is an international student health plan designed specifically to meet the needs of international students and scholars.
StudentSecure meets or exceeds most government and visa requirements. It also meets the requirements of many schools. With four levels of coverage to choose from—Elite, Select, Budget, or Smart—students can find the plan that best fits their needs and budget. Each plan includes coverage for eligible medical expenses, emergency medical evacuation, and repatriation of remains.
Do I need study abroad insurance?
If you are a student or scholar planning to pursue your education outside your home country, you will need a plan to pay for your medical expenses. Most student visas and learning institutions have a specific list of health insurance requirements for foreign students. You may also find the coverage from your home country will not follow you while you are studying abroad. StudentSecure is a budget-friendly solution.

What's Covered by StudentSecure®?
Pre-Existing Conditions
After 6 months of continuous coverage, StudentSecure Elite and StudentSecure Select will provide benefits for pre-existing conditions (12 months for StudentSecure Budget).
Pre-existing condition means any injury, illness, sickness, disease, or other physical, medical, mental, or nervous disorder, condition, or ailment that, with reasonable medical certainty, existed at the time of application or at any time during the 12 months prior to the effective date of this insurance, whether or not previously manifested, symptomatic or known, diagnosed, treated, or disclosed to us prior to the effective date, and including any and all subsequent, chronic or recurring complications or consequences related thereto or resulting or arising therefrom.
Note: StudentSecure Smart does not provide coverage for expenses related to pre-existing conditions except as provided for under the Acute Onset of a Pre-Existing Condition benefit described below.
Acute Onset of a Pre-Existing Condition
Individuals who purchase a StudentSecure plan have coverage for the acute onset of pre-existing condition (up to the $25,000 lifetime maximum). An acute onset of a pre-existing condition is a sudden and unexpected outbreak or recurrence that is of short duration, is rapidly progressive, and requires urgent care. A pre-existing condition that is a chronic or congenital, or that gradually becomes worse over time, is not acute onset of a pre-existing condition.
The Acute Onset of Pre-existing Condition benefit will apply only if, at the time of the acute onset of a pre-existing condition, all of the following conditions are met:
- The Acute onset of a Pre-Existing Condition does not directly or indirectly relate to a chronic condition or congenital condition; and
- Treatment must be obtained within twenty-four (24) hours of the sudden and unexpected outbreak or reoccurrence; and
- You must not be traveling against or in disregard of the recommendations, established treatment programs, or medical advice of a physician or other healthcare provider; and
- You must not be traveling with the intent or purpose to seek or obtain treatment for the pre-existing condition; and
- You must be traveling outside your home country
Sports and Activities
Medical expenses for injuries or illnesses sustained while participating in leisure, recreational, entertainment, or fitness activities are covered up to the overall maximum limit. Please review the StudentSecure Description of Coverage for a list of excluded sports and activities.
StudentSecure Elite and Select also include coverage for medical expenses resulting from injuries or illnesses sustained while participating in intercollegiate, interscholastic, intramural, or club sports (up to $5,000 per injury or illness). StudentSecure Budget and Smart do not offer coverage for intercollegiate, interscholastic, intramural, or club sports.
Mental Health Disorders
StudentSecure provides benefits for mental health disorders. Drug and alcohol abuse are covered under this benefit on the Elite, Select and Budget plan levels. Treatment for mental health disorders is covered only if not obtained from a student health center.
Emergency Dental
The following emergency dental expenses are covered: emergency dental treatment necessary to resolve pain or to restore or replace natural teeth lost or damaged in an accident which is covered under this insurance subject to a $500 certificate period maximum.
Emergency Medical Evacuation
Would you know what to do if you found yourself in a life-threatening situation far from home? We are experienced in arranging emergency medical evacuations. StudentSecure will cover eligible expenses necessary to transport you from an initial treating facility to the nearest hospital qualified to treat your life-threatening condition. We also understand the importance of family support in these difficult situations. StudentSecure will also cover the transportation, lodging, and meal costs for a relative to join you after a covered emergency medical evacuation, up to the lifetime limit.
Terrorism
In these turbulent times, the risk of a terrorist attack could be a reality. If you are in the wrong place at the wrong time, StudentSecure Elite, Select, and Budget offer coverage for eligible medical expenses resulting from these acts. Coverage excludes countries or regions for which the U.S. Department of State has issued a level 3 "reconsider travel" or higher travel advisory in the 60 days prior to your arrival date.
Repatriation of Remains
What would your family do if disaster strikes while you are away from home? The death of a loved one is never easy, no matter the circumstances. In the unfortunate event of your death while traveling abroad, StudentSecure will arrange for and cover eligible costs associated with the repatriation of your remains.
The description of coverage in these pages is for informational purposes only. Actual coverage will vary based the terms and conditions of the policy issued. The information described herein does not amend or otherwise affect the terms and conditions of any insurance policy issued by the administrator or its affiliates. In the event that a policy is inconsistent with the information described herein, the language of the policy will take precedence.

- You must be under age 65; and
- A full-time student at a college or university (excluding online colleges and universities); or
- Within 31 days of being a full-time student at a college or university; or
- A student under age 19 enrolled in a secondary school; or

Participants visiting the US must hold a valid education-related visa. A copy of the I-20 or DS-2019 may be requested.
Home Country Coverage
You must have purchased three months of coverage for the Incidental Home Country Coverage to be in effect.
For individuals with U.S. as home country, for every three-month period during which the member is covered hereunder, medical expenses incurred in the U.S. are covered up to a maximum of 15 days.
For individuals with a home country other than the U.S., for every three-month period during which the member is covered hereunder, medical expenses incurred in the member’s home country are covered up to a maximum of 15 days.
Any benefit accrued under a single three-month period does not accumulate to another period. Failure of the member to continue his or her international trip or the member returning to their home country for the sole purpose of obtaining treatment for an illness or injury that began while traveling shall void any incidental home country coverage.
Benefit Period Medical Coverage
While the certificate is in effect, the benefit period does not apply. Upon termination of the certificate, including when you return to your home country, the benefit period applies for up to 60 days only to eligible medical expenses directly related to an injury or illness that was diagnosed or treated while the certificate was in effect.

Coinsurance must be re-satisfied as of each renewal date. After four years of continuous coverage or any break in coverage, a new plan must be purchased. A new application is required and you must re-satisfy your coinsurance, pre-existing condition provisions, and all other benefit limits. Extensions and renewals must be made online with payment by credit card.

Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("PPACA"): This insurance is not subject to, and does not provide certain insurance benefits required by the United States' Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("PPACA"). PPACA requires certain US citizens or US residents to obtain PPACA compliant health insurance, or "minimum essential coverage." PPACA also requires certain employers to offer PPACA compliant insurance coverage to their employees. Tax penalties may be imposed on U.S. residents or citizens who do not maintain minimum essential coverage, and on certain employers who do not offer PPACA compliant insurance coverage to their employees. In some cases, certain individuals may be deemed to have minimum essential coverage under PPACA even if their insurance coverage does not provide all of the benefits required by PPACA. You should consult your attorney or tax professional to determine whether this policy meets any obligations you may have under PPACA.
