Medical insurance in USA for international students is different from what you have in China and will be different from what American students have. Usually American students at the secondary schools have their health insurance under their family plan and international students should plan to buy insurance independently. Colleges and Universities offer more comprehensive health insurance plan to international students since they do have contract with big insurance company, however, the secondary schools in many cases do not offer this type of plan. Each individual student then should do research and find an appropriate on with good coverage. Price and coverage vary depending on plans.

國際生所上的美國醫(yī)療保險不僅和國內(nèi)差別很大,而且也不同于美國本土學(xué)生的醫(yī)療保險。通常美國中學(xué)生的保險計劃是包含在整個家庭保險計劃中的。而國際生需要單獨購買。學(xué)院和大學(xué)提供給國際生更充分的醫(yī)療保險,因為他們和大的保險公司有合作關(guān)系。然而,初中學(xué)校在很多情況下卻不提供這種醫(yī)療保險。每個國際學(xué)生需要自己做調(diào)查,找到適合自己的保險計劃。價格和保險范疇由所購買的保險計劃決定。

建議盡快購買醫(yī)療保險,有的保險是會延期生效的,所以需要早辦,以免需要就醫(yī)時遇到麻煩。由于你是國際生,所以可以參考其他招收國際學(xué)生的學(xué)校給他們買的保險的種類。網(wǎng)上有一個,供你參考。

此外,給你一個森林湖中學(xué)護士的email,這是伊利諾伊的一所寄宿高中,對于國際學(xué)生保險他們經(jīng)驗很豐富:

建議可以問下學(xué)校的老師,一般他們都會有相應(yīng)的保險機構(gòu)的。國際學(xué)生一般都是要求要購買醫(yī)療保險的!
