Best for
Why StudentSecure is built for study abroad, not generic travel.
StudentSecure is built for full-time students, scholars, and exchange participants who need stronger medical cover for life abroad while studying.
Scholars and exchange participants
The eligibility framing includes students and scholars, including travelers entering the U.S. on education-related visas such as J-1 with supporting documentation like the I-20 or DS-2019 when required.
People who want to choose between budget and stronger benefits
The four plan levels are genuinely different. Elite and Select are much stronger for maximum benefits, maternity, mental health, and evacuation, while Smart is the leanest option.
Key benefits
What makes StudentSecure worth comparing by tier.
These are the parts of StudentSecure that matter most when choosing between the four plan levels.
Four tiers with very different maximums
Maximum coverage changes sharply by tier: $5,000,000 for Elite, $600,000 for Select, $500,000 for Budget, and $200,000 for Smart.
Strong upper-tier evacuation and reunion benefits
Emergency medical evacuation reaches $500,000 on Elite, $300,000 on Select, $250,000 on Budget, and $50,000 on Smart, with emergency reunion also much stronger on the higher tiers.
Mental health, maternity, and sports options matter here
Mental health treatment is included, maternity is available on upper tiers, and Elite, Select, and Budget can add an optional organized sports rider, while Smart does not offer that rider.
Pre-existing condition treatment improves on better plans
After 6 months of continuous coverage, Elite and Select can provide benefits for pre-existing conditions; Budget requires 12 months, and Smart does not provide that coverage except for acute onset within policy rules.
What students should verify before buying StudentSecure.
- Any benefit table must identify the specific tier because Elite, Select, Budget, and Smart differ materially in maximums, deductibles, evacuation, maternity, and optional sports coverage.
- StudentSecure Smart is the most limited tier and does not cover pre-existing conditions beyond the acute-onset rule or offer the organized sports rider.
- This plan is not PPACA-compliant minimum essential coverage, so the site should avoid presenting it as a substitute for ACA-compliant U.S. domestic insurance.
- Final pricing and some benefits can change based on age, destination, trip length, and country of residence.
- Before paying, confirm eligibility, exclusions, and pre-existing-condition rules in the final quote.
