International students who visit USA for pursuing their studies had always faced a serious problem in dealing with medical emergencies. Medical treatment in USA is one of the most expensive in the world. Most of the international students who come here for studies are on shoe-string budgets and medical emergencies can be absolutely crippling.
Student health insurance program
And who will understand the difficulties of students if not students themselves? International Student Organization, established in 1958, has taken a proactive step and organized an affordable student health insurance program in collaboration with leading private health insurance providers. There are two plans, COMPASS and ISO. Both plans are open for international students as well as visiting scholars and faculty members.
Both student health insurance plans provide comprehensive coverage and benefits to the members in case of injuries and illnesses including medical evacuation and repatriation, if needed. This is a truly magnificent self-help program organized by the ISO which is commendable.
