ACU Health Insurance Policy

Health insurance in the U.S. is very important.  Medical costs can accumulate quickly with even a minor medical procedure or office visit.  To help protect our students from these costs, ACU requires all international students and exchange visitors to have health insurance coverage that meets the U.S. Department of State guidelines.

Insurance charges are automatically noted on the student’s ACU account each semester.  Coverage is continued during the summer months for continuing students who were enrolled full-time in the previous spring semester.  Your insurance charges are noted on your I-20 and DS-2019 cost information.

• Dental and vision coverage is limited with ACU insurance.  It would be advisable to check with your dentist and optometrist at home for needed treatment before traveling.
• Some medications that are sold over the counter in your country will require a doctor visit and prescription in the U.S.
• Even though J-2 dependents are not required to have health insurance coverage through ACU, they are required by the Department of State to have health coverage while in the U.S.

The policy purchased by all international students at ACU is provided by HTH Worldwide.  Please go to HTHstudents.com and log in with your certificate number found on your insurance card.  At this site, you can view the specific ACU policy for this calendar year.  For specific policy-related questions, please contact HTH Worldwide directly through their website or phone number: 1-888-243-2358.

All international students and exchange visitors are required to have ACU insurance coverage.  This coverage cannot be waived.
