Health Insurance

EICC requires all international students purchase medical insurance through LewerMark. For more information on the costs and benefits of the required health insurance plan please visit www.lewermark.com/eicc.

Dental

Dental treatment is not free in the United States, and health insurance policies typically do not cover dental treatments. You will need to call a dentist to make an appointment. If it is not an emergency, it may take a couple of weeks to schedule an appointment. Students should be prepared to pay for the evaluation and any procedures that may follow. In the USA, dental treatment is expensive. Check with your LewerMark representative to ensure your dental procedure will be covered.

Car Insurance

If you plan to obtain an Iowa Driver’s License and drive a motor vehicle, you must have insurance for that vehicle. EICC strongly advise that your insurance policy includes adequate liability coverage.

Renter’s Insurance

In the United States, renter’s insurance covers the loss or damage to your personal furnishings (furniture, personal belongings, etc.) in case of burglary, fire, etc. Most policies also cover you if you need a lawyer in case of a law suit. Costs can vary, depending on the value of your belongings. Students can purchase renter’s insurance from private agents as listed in your city telephone directory, or on the Internet.
