Health and Insurance

Health insurance coverage is mandatory for all our students.

To protect you and your family from financial strain in case you experience a serious illness or injury while studying in the U.S., Rhodes requires that you purchase health insurance before you arrive and maintain it throughout your enrollment.

Because U.S. health insurance can be confusing to non-residents, Rhodes has selected a standardized policy for our international students. This comprehensive health insurance plan is offered by HTH Worldwide, which specializes in providing high-quality, affordable health insurance to international students, scholars and travelers.

We urge you to beware of TENNCARE and other insurance programs.

Before signing up for any insurance coverage other than the HTH Worldwide plan, please contact our Director of International Programs. Some of our international students have accidentally jeopardized their visa status by signing up for government programs such as TENNCARE.

Our Rhodes staff can address any questions or confusion you may have concerning this or other topics related to living and studying in the U.S. Please email us at internationalprograms@rhodes.edu.
