All students at ELI are required to have health insurance coverage that meets our standards. The insurance plan that we recommend and purchase for our students is the Silver Plan from ISO Insurance. More information about this plan and the associated fees can be found here: https://www.isoa.org/.
If you don’t want to enroll in the recommended insurance plan or have already enrolled in another insurance plan, you can use them as long as the plan meets our standards. Please note: Health insurance is not an option—it is a requirement.
Minimum Health Insurance Plan Requirements (Based on UNC- Chapel Hill standards):
• The health insurance plan must have a minimum medical benefit of $100,000 coverage for each specific illness or injury.
• The plan must have a deductible not to exceed $500 per accident or illness.
• The plan must provide at least $25,000 in benefits for repatriation of remains to the home country in case of death.
• The plan must pay up to $50,000 for medical evacuation to the home country.
