Introducing International Student-Athlete Health Insurance From A-G

Studying in the United States is a popular, life-changing experience for many international students. More than 1 million international students with F-1 and J-1 visas are enrolled at American schools. Unfortunately, most arrive without access to health insurance. 2-Year colleges and NAIA schools have long asked for coverage to help protect these students and student-athletes from medical expenses due to illness and accidents. At A-G Specialty Insurance, we’re excited to announce our new Premier International Student Protection plans that provide students and student-athletes access to healthcare services during their time in the U.S.

How International Student Protection From A-G Works

This health insurance for international students provides financial protection from unexpected medical emergencies. This is especially important for the nearly 25,000 student-athletes on F-1 visas participating in a sports program. It gives peace of mind to students, their families, and schools that if medical attention is needed, the cost won’t be a factor in limiting or avoiding care. Additionally, they won’t have to worry about incurring debt when they should be focused on treatment, recovery, and getting the most out of their college experience.

International Student and Student-Athlete Accident Insurance Coverage Eligibility

This international student protection insurance is designed for non-U.S. citizens with current passports on F-1 and J-1 visas studying and residing in the U.S.
