Health Insurance and Health Care:
Health Insurance is Mandatory for the Protection of you and your Family.
All students and scholars attending UMKC are REQUIRED to purchase UMKC health insurance as a part of the enrollment and registration process each term. The student is billed automatically upon registration for classes.
The University’s insurance plan covers or exceeds all typical insurance options outlined by the U.S. Government as requirements for foreign students and scholars. Failure to purchase and maintain health insurance may result in the termination of your immigration status held.
See the following website for coverage details:
http://www.chickering.com/stu_conn/student_connection.aspx?group_number=890439.
The costs of this insurance are included in the expenses listed on your I-20 or DS 2019 (IAP-66) form.
PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS: Insurance companies will usually not pay for treatment of a problem that you had before you enrolled in their program, hence if you have a recurring medical problem that requires a doctor’s attention, it is important that you be checked and tested before you come to the USA.
Bring an adequate supply of medication with you so that it will not be necessary to see a doctor during the first few hectic weeks of settling in. Likewise, bring copies of your doctor’s prescription(s) of your problem. Please remember, if you come to the USA with a pre-existing medical condition, you will most likely have to pay all costs incurred for treatment of that condition while you are here.
EYE CARE: At this time, a visit to the eye doctor costs about $45.00 to $100.00 USD and eyeglasses can cost $200.00 USD or more. If you have any eye condition that requires more than corrective eyeglasses, then there will be additional costs.
To save money, have your eyes examined before you leave home and bring a copy of your prescription with you (written in English), so that you will not have to go to another doctor to replace lost or broken eyeglasses.
Please note that the UMKC student insurance does not cover the cost of eye care.
DENTAL CARE: Dental care in the USA is very expensive and it is not covered by UMKC student health insurance. If you have access to a dentist at home, we would suggest that you have your teeth cleaned and fixed before you leave.
The UMKC School of Dentistry offers excellent Dental Health Care at a reduced rate for UMKC students if you need dental care in Kansas City.
Please note that the UMKC student insurance does not cover the cost of dental care.
IMMUNIZATION: It is important for you to bring a copy of certified medical documents that show the immunizations that you have had.
We strongly recommend that you are immunized before coming to the USA.
For International students, UMKC requires proof of immunization against:
- Measles
- Mumps
- Rubella
If you have children and are bringing them with you, you need to have copies of their immunization record.
If your children are eligible to attend school while they are here, they must prove that they have had the following immunizations before they will be allowed to enter school in the USA:
Polio, Mumps, Measles, Rubella, Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus vaccinations and a test for Tuberculosis.
