Westcliff does not provide, or subsidize, health insurance, health care, or medical care for students. You are strongly urged to secure your own health insurance and keep it active throughout your time at Westcliff. Medical care can be extremely costly and, without adequate coverage, can create huge, unexpected financial burdens.
There are many options, and you should choose a provider and plan you decide is right for you. If you are a nonimmigrant student, you may wish to explore providers and coverages on the CoveredCalifornia website, https://www.coveredca.com. Sometimes, students may qualify for subsidized coverage under Medi-Cal Eligibility and Covered CA.
Here are some additional resources that nonimmigrant students may explore for information about coverage possibilities:
- Covered California – Information for Immigrants
- How Immigration Status Impacts Medi-Cal Eligibility
- ISO Insurance | (800) 244 - 1180
- International Student Insurance | (904) 758 - 4391
- Student Protection (ISP) | (877) 738-5787
I acknowledge that Westcliff University has stressed how important it is for me to obtain and maintain my own health insurance. I acknowledge Westcliff provides no student health coverage or health services, and agree Westcliff has no responsibility for any medical costs I incur during my time at the University and thereafter.
