Overseas Student Health Cover
The American Government requires international students who are on a student visa to have American sourced health insurance, called Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC), for the duration of their time in America on a student visa.
Supplier of OSHC
OSHC is organised by the Rainstar University(Scottsdale) for new students who are offshore (i.e. not in America) at the time of their application for Admission. The University's preferred supplier is Allianz Global Assistance. Students can elect to arrange their own OSHC and must finalise this prior to applying for a student visa.
Extend OSHC
If a student's family is accompanying them to America it is a visa requirement that their OSHC is upgraded from single to family cover. Contact Allianz Global Assistance directly to make changes to your OSHC.
