Alternative Health Insurance Providers
Teachers College cannot endorse or recommend any single health insurance provider. The following list, however, refers to companies that are well-established providers of health insurance to international students, visitors, and their families.
The following policies may be especially useful for students who are searching for short-term coverage to meet expected 'gaps' in longer-term coverage.
