This blog has been updated to reflect the new insurance requirements for the University of North Carolina Charlotte for the 2019-2020 school year.

The University of North Carolina in Charlotte requires all international student have health insurance while in attendance at the school. UNC Charlotte offers students the University of North Carolina Charlotte International Student Insurance plan with Blue Cross Blue Shield, in which international students can choose to enroll. However students also have the option to choose to waive this plan and enroll in another US or home country plan that meets the university’s minimum health insurance requirements.

Alternative Health Insurance

The minimum requirements that your health plan must meet are:

  1. Full sickness and accident coverage per plan year
  2. Medical benefits of at least $100,000 per accident or illness per plan year
  3. Deductible no greater than $500
  4. Minimum of $25,000 for repatriation coverage
  5. Minimum of $50,000 for medical evacuation
  6. Pregnancy and mental health benefits (must be comparable to the benefits offered in the Student Insurance plan)

If you do choose to waive the school sponsored plan, your dates of coverage need to be through December 31. You will need to complete an online insurance waiver and send a copy of your policy declaration page to the school for review. The deadline for the waiver form is September 10, 2019.
