It is especially important to have good insurance when studying in the USA. Healthcare, accidents, or interrupted studies can become very expensive if you are not insured. Keep in mind that standard home insurance usually only covers about 45 days abroad and is often limited, for example it typically does not cover studies. When you arrive at your school, you may need to present proof of insurance in order to begin your studies. We strongly recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand what applies in your specific case. In some cases, you may need to enroll in the school’s own insurance plan—see the specific school for details.

Why Do You Need Insurance in the USA?

Unlike many European countries, the healthcare system in the USA is private. This means that costs for doctor visits, hospital stays, or medical treatment can quickly become high without insurance. A good student insurance plan protects you financially and provides peace of mind throughout your studies.

Student insurance in the USA typically may include:

• Doctor visits and medical treatment
• Hospital care
• Emergency care
• Prescription medications
• In some cases, also accident coverage and medical repatriation

The insurance that suits you best may vary depending on the school, visa type, and length of study.
