Healthcare
All international students at CBU will be enrolled in CBU's approved health insurance. This is to help ensure that you have proper coverage, and are not being enrolled in a policy that will not provide you the care you may need while in the United States. This insurance allows you to receive medical care here in the States if you should need it while you are a student.
You will pay for the medical insurance as part of your student accounts fees two times each year: Fall and Spring. Your insurance card is valid through the whole school year, Fall, Spring and Summer semesters.
Information about your health insurance plan as an international CBU student can be found on University Card Services' website.
As soon as you arrive at CBU you should create an online account with your health insurance's website. Through this site you can access your digital health insurance card. We strongly encourage you to log into this account at the start of every semester so you have access to your digital card early and before you may need to use it.
If you get sick or hurt, you should go to one of the approved medical facilities listed below to receive treatment. You will need to show them your digital health insurance card so they can contact your insurance provider and send them the medical bill. The insurance company will pay all or part of the costs of your bill, and then send you a bill for the remaining balance. This bill will come to the home address you have listed on file with CBU.

Your health insurance will not cover dental or vision plans.
You may be able to add these as additional charges to your health insurance if you need dental or eye care. Please click the link above for University Card Service's website for more information about dental or vision coverage.
No, as an international student you are required to have CBU's health insurance coverage. However, if you had health insurance coverage prior to enrollment at CBU (through an employer, a spouse, etc.) you are welcome to contact University Card Services to discuss options. See their contact information in the question below.
Please contact University Card Services for further assistance regarding the student health insurance plan.
