All new international students at Ball State are required to have adequate health insurance coverage.  Because medical services in the U.S. are very expensive, it is extremely important for all international students and accompanying dependents to have health insurance.  Ball State University has an agreement with Collegiate Risk Management (CRM) to provide appropriate health insurance for our international students and their families.   Click here to go to the CRM signup page for a year-long policy.  Please note you will have to show proof of the correct minimum levels of health insurance coverage before you will be able to register for classes.  The minimum amounts are as follows:   $100,000 accident/injury coverage; $50,000 for medical evacuation coverage, and $15,000 for repatriation costs.   You do not have to join the Ball State University health insurance plan through CRM, but must prove you have an alternate plan with the correct minimum levels of coverage before you will be able to register.  Currently, the annual cost for a single person with CRM is $780.
