Registered international students are required to enroll in a health insurance plan. An insurance waiver is the process of opting out of the health insurance plan offered by your college or university and enrolling in a comparable, more affordable plan. For school-specific waiver regulations, please refer to your school’s website.
The cost savings of insurance waivers can be significant, sometimes thousands of dollars a year. Health insurance plans offered by universities or colleges are usually more expensive, because the costs are calculated according to the risks of a larger demographic.
