Academic Year 2021 – 2022

Health Insurance Requirements for All Students

The Board of Regents of The University of Texas System mandates health insurance for all students enrolled in the UT System health components. As such, each UTHealth student who cannot provide evidence of coverage under another approved plan will be enrolled in the student insurance plan with Academic HealthPlans and assessed a health insurance fee. The health insurance fee is $3,190.00 for the academic year 2021-2022 (click onStudent Insurance Rates and Term Datesfor more information.) For more information regarding the UTHealth Insurance Plan provider please visituthouston.myahpcare.com.

在每个学期注册课程之前，每个学生都必须通过其我/她的MyUTH帐户完成健康保险认证过程。通过此过程，学生要么提供有关自己覆盖范围的信息，要么确认他们参与学术健康计划。对于证明在另一项批准计划下承保范围的学生，将不会将健康保险费评估到其学生帐户。

Medical Evacuation and Repatriation Insurance for International Students

The Board of Regents of The University of Texas System also requires that all international students holding F or J non-immigrant visas and living in the United States carry coverage for medical evacuation and repatriation while enrolled at any component of The University of Texas.

通过学术保健计划评估的健康保险费用包括医疗疏散和遣返的覆盖范围。因此，参加学术保健计划的国际学生无需获得额外的覆盖范围。

However, international students with outside medical insurance coverage must ensure that their coverage includes medical evacuation and repatriation. (Please note that the majority of outside insurance carriers do not provide medical evacuation and repatriation coverage.) If needed, international students can purchase supplemental coverage specifically for medical evaluation and repatriation through their student account at a cost of $96 per year.

If an Insured is still eligible for continuation at the beginning of the next Policy year, the Insured must purchase coverage under the new Policy as chosen by the school. Coverage under the new Policy is subject to the rates and benefits selected by the school for that Policy year.
