For international students studying in the USA, graduating from university is an exciting time. The long journey of earning the degree that could lead to your dream job is now complete, and you’re ready to start the next phase of your professional life.

However, if you’re a non-American who has recently graduated from a US college or university, or you’re getting ready to graduate, you need to make sure you continue to look after your health.

While you were enrolled in school, you were likely also enrolled in international student insurance to help pay for necessary medical treatment. You may have received this insurance coverage through the school as part of your tuition, or purchased it on your own. 

In either case, this insurance coverage ends when you stop being a student. You need to take the right steps to get coverage for the next part of your journey. And the right steps for you will depend on your plans after graduation.
