Employer, Family, and Other Plans NOT Pre-Approved

If you have your own insurance policy and is not part of the FIU Pre-Approved Alternative Plans, your insurance company must complete and send the International Student Alternative Health Insurance Compliance Form directly to FIU-Health Compliance Unit at insure@fiu.edu

Note: The FIU Health Compliance Unit 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 before purchasing any alternative plan.  Health Compliance will not accept any plan that does not fully meet the state regulation.

Please ensure that the following information is provided for insurance review:

• Alternative Insurance compliance form
  • The coverage meets or exceeds the minimum FIU requirements
  • The name, address, and telephone number of a claim’s agent in the United States
  • You are covered under the policy
  • Form must be completed by the insurance company or the insurance representative
• Proof of insurance
  • Certificate of coverage
  • Proof of medical evacuation and repatriation
  • Proof that insurance has been pre-paid through the current year

Note: All requirements must be provided to our office for review. Failure to provide these requirements will result in denial of alternative insurance policy.
           

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 provide documentation of insurance coverage that meets FIU and Florida Board of Governor’s requirements; or purchase the FIU Sponsored Health Insurance Plan.

Note: Monthly payment options will not be accepted for any International Students. Insurance coverage must be paid in FULL for the semester.

Please be aware that there is a 24-48 hours processing time during weekdays for all incoming documents. To check the status of your hold, you may log on to your my.fiu.edu.
