How do I choose the right eligibility type for school waiver?

Use the Eligibility selector to switch among J-1 Student, J-1 Scholar, and OPT pathways. Each pathway loads plan options aligned with that eligibility profile.

Can PSI plans be used for school insurance waiver submission?

PSI plans are designed to satisfy common university waiver standards. Students should always compare plan details with the latest school waiver requirements before submitting.

What visa categories are supported on this portal?

This portal supports multiple international student categories, including F-1, J-1 Student, J-1 Scholar, and OPT, depending on school and term setup.

Does changing age affect the displayed premium?

Yes. Premiums are recalculated when age changes, and prices update in the plan cards for the selected eligibility and term.

How quickly can I get compliant with school insurance requirements?

Most students can review requirements, choose an eligible plan, and complete enrollment in minutes when required information is ready.

Is PSI affiliated with my school?

PSI is not affiliated with or endorsed by universities. Plans are offered as a waiver-eligible alternative, and students should verify school-specific rules before submission.
