Health Insurance
All F-1 international students admitted for Spring 2023 and beyond are required to purchase the Elmhurst University-sponsored plan offered by ISO for Fall and Spring semesters in which they will be enrolled for the duration of their studies and will be automatically enrolled and billed through their Elmhurst University student accounts.
All F-1 international students who began their studies prior to Spring 2023 are strongly advised to enroll in the Elmhurst University-sponsored ISO health insurance plan. The high cost of health care in the U.S. puts international students at financial risk in the event of injury or sickness and the dedicated ISO plan offers comprehensive coverage at an affordable rate.
Spring 2023
Coverage Period: January 1, 2023, through May 31, 2023
Cost: $600

Summer 2023
Summer is not a required semester of enrollment, but any students remaining in the U.S. during this period are still strongly advised to enroll in the Elmhurst University-sponsored ISO health insurance plan.
Coverage Period: June 1, 2023, through July 31, 2023
Cost: $240
Sign-up information for Summer 2023 will be available in mid- to late April 2023.
OPT Coverage
Once a student has graduated and been authorized by USCIS to engage in post-completion Optional Practical Training, they can view and enroll in dedicated plans to cover them during their OPT experience. Plans start on the 1st and 16th of the month.
F-1 students will be enrolled and billed upon automatically for this insurance plan through your Elmhurst University student accounts.
