SpanishHealth insurance is not mandatory for international students enrolled at Virginia International University (VIU). However, we do highly encourage students to have some type of medical coverage.
Insurance in the United States is not free like it is in some other countries. Going to the doctor can become very expensive if you do not have insurance. For example, an emergency trip to the doctor can cost you, out of your own pocket, as much as $350.00 or more! With health insurance, that same trip to the doctor may cost you $50.00.
If you do not already have health insurance, VIU strongly encourages you to enroll in a health insurance plan. Please see the information below for insurance companies offering a variety of insurance plans to F-1 and J-1 students. Insurance plans are also available below for students who are US citizens. If these insurance companies do not meet your needs, you are encouraged to seek out other options. Please be sure to read all of the policies and procedures related to your health insurance benefits.
If you have any questions, please contact the Student Affairs Department at studentaffairs@campus.viu.edu or contact Allison Forbes, Director of Student Affairs, at (703) 591-7042, ext. 367.

Who is eligible for Student Secure Plan?
Students in the USA on a F1 or J1 visa, are automatically eligible for the Student Secure plan.
Some Frequent asked questions:
- Q. What is a deductible? A: The deductible is the amount you are required to pay to the doctor or hospital before the insurance company will pay toward your eligible expenses. One the Student Secure plan, it is paid once for every new illness or injury-not per visit. If you become ill or injured and went to the doctor you would pay the deductible, but if you went for a follow-up visit on that same condition you would not need to pay the deductible again since you’ve already paid it fore that condition.
- Q. Which doctors or hospitals can I got to? A: You are free to visit any doctor or hospital (known as providers) that you wish to seek treatment from. However, we do suggest you visit these providers as they are typically better placed to treat you:
- First Health Provider Network-The First Health Network will accept the Student insurance plan. You can search providers at: https://www.internationalstudentinsurance.com/network
- Q. Will I get an ID card? A: Yes, you will receive an electronic PDF version of your insurance ID card immediately by e-mail, and you can also choose to receive a physical ID card in the mail by selecting the “Email and Regular Mail” option on the application

| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Annual maximum | The total amount the insurance company will pay over the year for all benefits and covered expenses. |
| Co-insurance | The ration (%) of splitting a bill between the insurance company and you. For example 80% for the first $5,000 means the insurance company will pay $4,000 (80%) and you are responsible for the remaining $1,000 (20%). |
| Co-pay | A fee (for example, $30) you pay for a medical service, usually when you get the service. If the co-payment is $30 for a doctor’s visit, you will pay this amount at the doctor’s office. |
| Deductible | The dollar amount of covered expenses you are responsible for to pay the physician or hospital before the policy will pay any benefits. Deductible per event means you are responsible to pay the deductible once for each sickens or accident. If you return to the physician or hospital for the same sickness or accident, you do not have to pay the deductible again. An annual deductible is the amount you must pay for medical services before getting coverage. |
| Maximum per injury or sickness | The total amount payable by the insurance company for covered expenses per injury or sickness. |
| Medical evacuation | Transferring the insured person to the nearest hospital or medical facility in case of emergency, injury, or sickness, or back to his/her home country. |
| Out-of-Pocket Expenses | The combined cost of your deductible, co-pay, and co-insurance for covered services plus all uncovered expenses. |
| PPO or Preferred Provider Organization | A network of doctors, clinics, hospitals, and related medical service providers who are organized under the PPO to provide health care at a discounted or negotiated rate. Getting treatment form a member of this PPO network may provide higher benefits or more savings than using a doctor, clinic or hospital outside of this PPO network. |
