Insurance
Accidents
All Students are covered by a mandatory accident policy with a $2,500 limit on each accident. Benefits are supplemental to other insurance. Covered medical expenses will be payable at 100% inside or outside of Beech Street network and no deductible will be applied. For a list of Beech Street Providers visit: www.beechstreet.com. Please remember that Beechstreet requires referrals from the Student Health Center for medical/ surgical specialists.
Medical Hospitalization & Insurance Coverage
All students are required to enter here https://secure.visit-aci.com/insurance/fordham to complete the Health eU on-line Insurance Registration Process. During this process, you will be asked to either provide information on your current medical insurance coverage, purchase the Fordham sponsored Student Insurance Plan, or complete a brief opinion survey. (Note: you will be re-directed to a secure website). Information regarding this coverage is available at the Office of International Students at (718) 817-3145 or (212) 636-6270. All other students are strongly encouraged to have health insurance coverage. The University makes available a reasonably priced additional accident and sickness plan through a private insurance company. Registered students should receive an application in the mail mid-August. Additional insurance applications are available at both the Rose Hill and Lincoln Center campuses.
Parents should be aware that many family plans terminate coverage for a child after his/her nineteenth birthday. Unless special arrangements are made, the student is not protected against any cost he/she may incur for treatment of sickness or accident. The University does not provide such coverage for students. Payments for care at hospitals, clinics, or by private doctors are the students' responsibility. F1 & J1 International students, please refer to the Office of International Students webpage for waiver deadlines and instructions.
