The State University Board of Trustees has adopted a plan of health insurance coverage for all participants in SUNY programs of international exchange, research and/or study. 

Health and accident insurance is required of all State University of New York study abroad program participants or inbound internatioanal students. 

All students are required to purchase the MEDEX rider, as it includes evacuation for other than medical reasons. Complete descriptions of the SUNY International Student and Scholar Health Insurance Plan and the MEDEX Medical Evacuation, Repatriation and Security Rider is available upon request from the Office of International Education.

Neither the State of New York, through its agents, nor the State University of New York through its agents and employees, is responsible in any manner whatsoever for the payment of any claim for health-related services provided to individuals covered under this insurance policy. The State of New York and State University of New York are not responsible for obligations incurred by individuals who are not covered by this insurance policy. All individuals participating in the University’s health insurance programs described herein are responsible for reviewing all descriptions of the scope and level of coverage offered by this policy. Such participants will be solely responsible for obtaining additional coverage not provided under this program if such is deemed necessary by the participant.
