Health Insurance

All international students at IU South Bend are required to have
health insurance for themselves and their families (depedents).
The United States does not have a nationalized health care
system, and medical care can be extremely expensive. If you
need medical care and do not have insurance, you may find
yourself owing thousands of dollars. The health insurance
system offers you protection against these costs.

Indiana University South Bend has a mandatory insurance pro-
gram for its students through Aetna Student Health. The IU
policy
covers varies health costs. Non-immigrant international
students are automatically enrolled in this plan when they re-
gister, and the premium amount will show up on your bursar
bill each semester.

If you have your own insurance from your home country or pre-
fer to purchase other insurance on your own, you can apply to
have your IU health insurance requirement waived.

The insurance premiums for the 2009-2010 Policy Year is $792.
You will be billed by the Office of the Bursar in two installments:
$302 for the fall semester and $490 for the spring and summer.
For more information about the Indiana University Insurance or
eligibility to waive out of the IU Insurance see links on right or
