Visiting Scholars, International Students, and English Language students (IEP)
International Student Health Insurance
2010-2011
The plan is administered by Aetna Student Health. All information on rates, plan benefits, claim procedures and exclusions are stated in the International Student Health Insurance Plan brochure (PDF).
The information contained herein is intended to provide an overview of the Indiana University Student Health Insurance Plan. Students should not use this information in making decisions pertaining to health insurance coverage.
Eligibility
Participation in the Student Health Insurance Plan is mandatory for Indiana University International Students, unless proof of comparable coverage is presented, and a waiver is filed by the waiver deadline. In the absence of a waiver, your portion of the insurance premium will be automatically assessed on your account with the Bursar. Visiting Scholars are eligible for this plan and should contact International Services for information regarding enrollment.
All International students taking credit hours, visiting scholars and all English language students are required to participate in this Insurance Plan unless proof of comparable coverage is furnished to the University. Students must be enrolled at Indiana University for at least the first 31 days after the date for which coverage is purchased. Home study, correspondence, and television courses do not fulfill the eligibility requirements. If and whenever Aetna Student Health discovers the eligibility requirements have not been met, its only obligation is refund of premium; less any claims paid.
New for 2010-11! International students are now eligible for an optional Dental PPO plan! Students and their eligible dependents who are enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan are eligible to participate in this dental plan. The Aetna Dental PPO provides benefits with Aetna network dentists. This optional dental plan provides coverage for many frequently performed dental services including cleanings, root canals, x-rays and much more! For more information and specific benefit details, please refer to the Dental PPO Plan Booklet (PDF) and Summary (coming soon).
