Medical costs in the United States can be expensive even for minor injuries. Too often international students do not realize the necessity of health insurance in the U.S. due to low costs in their home country until it is too late. Because of this, all students enrolled at the University of Findlay under F-1 Student or J-1 Exchange Visitor visas are required to have adequate health insurance. These students must submit their insurance coverage information to a waiver portal annually to verify minimum coverage requirements are met. Any student who does not meet the minimum coverage requirements will be automatically enrolled in a University plan with a non-refundable charge for the plan being applied to the student's account each semester. Plan rates are set and published by June 15 each year for the next academic year.

UF has contracted with United Healthcare StudentResources (UHCSR) to provide an insurance policy for students. More information about policy benefits, rates, and to enroll can be found here.
