Health Insurance
All international students are required to participate in the College health insurance plan, unless you can show proof of enrollment in a comparable accident/sickness insurance plan. Western State offers international student insurance through HTH Worldwide. This health insurance plan includes coverage for prescriptions, doctor’s visits (related to injury or sickness), and other inpatient and outpatient care. The Campus Health Center can provide most of your common medical services.
Without medical coverage an unexpected illness could mean financial hardship for you and your family, and could make it financially difficult to continue your education. If you already have comparable health insurance coverage, please provide the documentation to the Director of International Student Programs. If you are an intercollegiate athlete, you will need to follow the health insurance requirements provided by the Athletic Department at Western State College. The health insurance provisions and benefits are subject to change.
