REPRESENTATION REGARDING STUDENT’S COVERAGE:

I, the undersigned, warrant that the insurance policy corresponding to the insured ISU student named above (“Student”) contains each corresponding attribute that I have verified by a “√” symbol below:

_____1. medical benefits of at least $50,000.00 US per accident or illness (to include maternity paid as any other medical condition);

_____2. a deductible not to exceed $500.00 US per accident or illness;

_____3. co-payment for in-network providers not greater than 25 percent with the insurance paying at least 75 percent of the charges;

_____4. accident and illness coverage (to include maternity insurance for females);

_____5. repatriation of remains in the amount of $7,500.00 US (a type of insurance whereby the deceased is returned to their home country);

_____6. medical evacuation coverage of at least $10,000.00 US (that pays for the student to return to their home country if the student is too ill to attend school);

_____7. insurance company that is owned, operated and based in the United States, or that complies with 22 C.F.R. §62.14 (c)(1-2); and (for information on US Citizens and Immigration Services 22 C.F.R. §62.14 (c)(1-2)  visit their web page at  http://www.uscis.gov/propub/ProPubVAP.jsp?dockey=c4934c1786b99f1896b1c58f5df66d79)

_____8. health insurance in force and maintained for the full academic year.

I further understand that:

a.        Idaho State University (ISU) requires Insured as an international student to purchase the ISU’s Student Health Insurance (SHIP), unless Insured is eligible for a waiver as set forth on this document;

b.       Insured must comply with ISU’s standards for health insurance;

c.        ISU has discretion – but no duty – to waive this requirement if Insured is covered by other medical insurance that meets or exceeds each insurance attribute described above (shown by my “√” symbol);

d.       If Insured’s policy does not fulfill each above-listed requirement, then ISU’s health insurance waiver is not available to Insured and Insured must purchase a SHIP policy;

e.        failure to provide accurate information makes Insured being responsible to purchase the SHIP policy;

f.         if Insured’s insurance terminates for any reason, Insured must either obtain other insurance coverage or re-enroll in the SHIP insurance plan; and

g.       if Insured has already paid for the SHIP and wish to receive a refund, Insured will need to contact the Student Health Insurance office before the refund deadline.

I give consent:

a.        for Insured’s insurance agent to notify ISU if Insured’s purchased insurance expires; and/or

b.       for ISU to contact Insured’s insurance agent to verify the status of Insured’s insurance if any question arises about Insured’s coverage.

My signature below confirms that:

a.        I have carefully read this document and understand its contents; and

b.       I accept and am legally bound to each provision in this document.
