The cost of medical services 在美国 can be quite expensive, especially
when treating major issues or emergencies. For this reason, all international st乌兰nts
attending 雪的大学 are required to purchase a health insurance policy through
LewerMark, 我们的 current health insurance partner. 如果你是 an exchange st乌兰nt, government-sponsored
st乌兰nt, or a US passport holder, we can waive this requirement.
The coverage offered through the 雪的大学 LewerMark policy is better than most U.S. citizens have with their own policies. 例如, the policy offers 500,000 USD coverage per illness or accident. It also has evacuation and repatriation benefits.
雪的大学 will assist st乌兰nts in knowing how to go about purchasing a policy. You will automatically be registered for insurance once you register for classes.
