WorldTrips StudentSecure

For most full-time U.S. graduate students staying 12 months, Select ($106/month) is the sweet spot — $1M coverage, 6-month pre-existing waiting period, $300K evacuation. Budget ($53) works for healthier students on a tight budget. Smart ($32) is for short stays only — its $200K max may not meet strict universities. Elite ($181) is for those needing maximum protection or with university requirements above $1M.

WorldTrips designed StudentSecure with zero deductible to compete on simplicity — you don't pay anything upfront before insurance kicks in (other than copays). This is unusual for U.S. plans and helps students predict costs more easily.

Universities require minimum coverage that varies by school. Smart ($200K max) often does NOT meet waiver requirements. Budget ($500K), Select ($1M) and Elite ($5M) typically do. Always check your school's specific waiver criteria — and remember WorldTrips will provide a waiver form on request.

No. StudentSecure does not allow dependents. If you need spouse or family coverage, look at IMG Patriot Exchange or ISO instead — both let dependents apply independently.
