Health & Insurance
Stay in good health throughout your time at Indiana University Indianapolis.
As an international student or scholar at IU Indianapolis, it is important to take good care of your health and utilize your resources. Use the information here to find the answers you need.
Health insurance is a requirement
All international students and scholars are required to have health insurance that meets the minimum requirements for their entire stay in the United States. In the United States, health insurance is necessary to receive medical care at a more affordable rate, comply with visitor regulations and stay healthy. IU Indianapolis advocates for you each year when we negotiate a reasonable rate for our insurance plan: the IU International Plan.
International students and scholars enroll in and pay for the IU International Plan differently. IU Indianapolis will enroll students in the IU International Plan. Scholars can choose to purchase the same IU International Plan or select another company, as long as it meets certain requirements. Explore your options, and make sure to take action.
