Most educational institutions in the United States require students to have at least minimum Health Insurance. As a student, you probably have access to a number of Health Insurance plans offered by your educational institution. Some of these are essentially group Health Insurance plans that offer services through either a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) or a Health Maintenance Organization (PPO). These options are cheaper than if you tried to get individual Student Health Insurance. If your educational institution includes any medical schools or hospitals, plans that use these hospitals may be the cheapest. You may qualify for additional Student Health Insurance discounts if you have an International Student Exchange identity card that you can order online.
