Waive or Not
Some universities will allow students to purchase off-campus insurance to replace the health insurance provided by the school (Waive), but there are exceptions. We don't judge because each one has pros and cons. Students who choose DIAN Insurance because it is cheaper than school insurance and has appropriate benefits. However, when choosing an insurance product, you must consider whether it contains a flu vaccine or whether a minor accident can be fully covered. Based on the past claims ratio, claims for accidents or illnesses are much less than students expected. Therefore, most students will choose products with low insurance premiums. However, it is not a correct judgment to choose an insurance product with a low payout ratio or a limited maximum payout unless you are so confident to your health condition. Make sure to compare whether the school plan can provide adequate insurance benefits before choosing a plan.
How to choose best plan
According to the survey, when American nationals choose health insurance, the priority order is: insurance premiums, benefits and prescription drugs, hospital network, deductible, easy to see a doctor, and the popularity of the insurance company. It is not much different from the health insurance provided by the school. For international students, the factors to consider are: insurance premiums, welfare, deductible, and hospital network. DIAN advice customers that you should first consider whether the product can adequately cover their physical condition, range of activities (check the exemptions), and then choose an appropriate deductible, because choosing an appropriate deductible will bring the most benefits to customers and insurance companies than just choosing low-cost insurance products For example, in the Blue plan, more than 50% of students chose Blue 500. This fully shows that Blue500 can continue to maintain a good balance of benefits and insurance premiums.

Sickness or accident

If you know a doctor who can speak Chinese beforehand, it's convenient for you in future medical consultations. Compared with the PPO network, the medical institution that is the student health center. Almost all of Dian's insurance plans can exempt Copay and Deductible, and the Student Health Center will also reimburse HPV, Flue and other vaccines on the same basis as PPO. (NYU, Temple, U. Conn, Brown, U. Florida, and Penn States and other school health centers provide direct billing services through the EHIM pharmacy network.) Emergency Room (ER): The first aid standard in the United States is life-threatening. Therefore, severe pain, dysmenorrhea, and vertigo are often excluded in the first place even if they go to the emergency room, and it takes a long time to receive treatment, which leads to a very high deductible. In response to this situation, there is a medical institution that can be visited 24 hours a day. Urgent Care Center: Situation is not urgent, but if you feel severe pain or fracture, you can visit without making an appointment. Compared with multiple emergency rooms, you can receive treatment without waiting for a long time, and the compensation ratio is almost the same as that of other diseases/injuries.
