Visiting Scholars, International Students, and English Language students (IEP)
International Student Health Insurance
2012-2013
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 policy number for IU is 812849.
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.
Dependents
Eligible students may also insure their dependents. Eligible dependents are the spouse/same-sex domestic partner (residing with the Insured student) and unmarried children under the age of 26. Dependent eligibility is effective and expires concurrently with that of the insured student. If the deadline has passed your dependents may not enroll for coverage until the next coverage period, unless there has been a significant life change (i.e., marriage, birth, loss of prior coverage). If the enrollment form is submitted within 30 days of the qualifying event, coverage will be backdated to begin on the date of the qualifying event. If the enrollment form is submitted after the 30 days of the qualifying event, it will not be accepted, and the student and his/her dependents will have to wait until the next annual open enrollment period to enroll. Please contact the Student Health Coordinator for more information, 812-856-4650.
Enrollment applications must be received by Aetna Student Health no later than the Enrollment Deadline dates below.
