Health Insurance Info
Do I need health insurance if I am not living in Rexburg?
- If you are living outside of the Rexburg area but within the United States you will need to provide proof of insurance. This can be done by answering the questionnaire found in the “holds” section of the student tab or by filling out the Student Health Plan Waiver. Insurance only needs to provide coverage for the area that you are currently living in.
Do I need health insurance if I do not live in the country?
- If you are living outside the United States you will not need to purchase the Student Health Insurance Plan. However, you will still need to contact the Health Center to let them know so they can remove the hold on your account.
Do I need health insurance if I do not live in the country and I am on my flex semester?
- If you are an International student living out of the country during your flex semester, you will not need to be enrolled in the Student Health Plan.
