Health Insurance (International Students)
All international students are required by SUNY to have health insurance for the duration of their stay in college. If an international student has coverage similar to the SUNY policy, they may seek a waiver*{see below}.
HTH Worldwide is contracted by SUNY to provide health insurance to International Herkimer College students while in the United States and abroad. For insurance policy details, please visit http://www.haylor.com. Health care services in the United States can be very costly. It is important to have insurance coverage of these medical expenses to avoid accumulating a large out of pocket health care bill. The cost of the insurance is $550 per semester. This plan provides full policy benefits everywhere in the world except the student’s country of origin where coverage is limited.
If you have your own health insurance you must determine if it meets SUNY guidelines. To do so you must supply the Herkimer College Bursar’s office with a copy of this policy. If the policies are similar, you may sign a waiver to be exempt from purchasing the SUNY policy.
