ALTERNATE INSURANCE POLICY
If you have your own insurance policy, your insurance
company must complete and fax the International Student
Alternative Health Insurance Compliance Form directly to
FIU Health.
NOTE:
FIU Health will not be able to review any
alternative health insurance plan without the Alternative
Health Insurance Compliance Form. The guidelines for
insurance have been established by the Florida Board of
Governors and must be met. Please review the Florida
Board of Governors state regulation prior to purchasing
any alternative plan. The completed compliance form
must verify the following:
• the coverage meets or exceeds the minimum FIU
requirements
• the name, address, and telephone number of a
claims agent in the United States
• you are covered under the policy
• your insurance has been pre-paid through current
year
The Health Compliance Unit must receive the International
Student Alternative Health Insurance Compliance Form
directly from your insurance company. Your policy will be
reviewed, and if it complies with the guidelines, you will
be cleared to register. If your policy does not comply with
the guidelines, you will not be cleared until you document
insurance coverage which meets FIU requirements or
purchase the FIU Sponsored Health Insurance Plan.
Medical Evacuation & Repatriation
If the alternate policy is approved subject to Medical
Evacuation & Repatriation, the service indicator will
not be released until this requirement is met. Students
are advised to NOT purchase Medical Evacuation and
Repatriation UNTIL they have proof that the alternate
insurance policy was approved subject to it.
