2007-2008 International Student Accident & Sickness Plan

Methodist University offers its international students an insurance plan to help defray medical fees during their stay at Methodist University. The student insurance is mandatory for all full-time day international students. No coverage is provided for visits or treatments that occur in a student’s homeland country. The insurance plan also provides a low-cost coverage for prescription medications.

We also offer a fully-insured Primary International Student Plan that provides a $50,000 aggregate limit per accident or sickness. International students may also enroll their spouse and dependents. The plan is offered on a Mandatory or Hard Waiver basis only. For additional information about the International Student Accident & Sickness Plan, contact the Student Insurance Coordinator, .
