As a condition of enrollment, each student is required to have current health insurance upon acceptance. If you do not have insurance, or if your health insurance does not provide adequate coverage, a supplement policy may be available at a nominal cost through your law school insurance program.
Please note there is still a fee for doctor's visits, usually a co-payment of approximately US$120. Visits must be paid upfront and then a reimbursement claim can be filed with your insurance company in the United States.
Another insurance option is to purchase the International Student Identity Card, which costs approximately $25 and is available from the STA Travel Agency.
