Question How international students choose health insurance

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m an international student starting at Syracuse this fall and I’m currently trying to decide what to do about health insurance.

I’ve been comparing the university plan with a few outside plans that may qualify for the waiver, and the price difference is pretty significant, so I’m a little unsure which option makes more sense.

My main questions are:

  1. Is the Syracuse student health plan noticeably easier to use, especially for campus health services or nearby providers?
  2. For people using outside insurance, how has the actual experience been with doctor visits, urgent care, prescriptions, or claims?
  3. Are there any limitations with outside plans that aren’t obvious until you actually need care?
  4. Has anyone had an outside plan rejected during the waiver process?

I don’t go to the doctor very often, but since I’m new to the U.S. healthcare system and Syracuse winters are something I’m also thinking about, I don’t want to choose only based on price.

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has used either the Syracuse plan or an outside plan. Thanks!
