Health Insurance - International Students
At The University of 澳门王中王论坛, we prioritize the well-being of our students. That's why we provide comprehensive health insurance coverage tailored to your needs. The health insurance coverage varies depending on your student type and the duration of your studies. Health insurance is mandatory for all students, ensuring that you have access to essential healthcare services throughout your studies. Opting out is not possible, even if you have existing supplementary coverage from your home country or through an employer.
- Basic/Emergency Coverage: Includes essential services such as doctor and hospital visits, ensuring you're covered in times of need.
- Extended Coverage: Includes benefits not covered by basic/emergency coverage such as prescription drugs, vision, dental services, massage, physiotherapy, emergency transportation (ambulance) and repatriation assistance.
Having this coverage is essential for safeguarding your health and well-being during your time at university. Explore the details of each plan to ensure you're fully informed and ready to make the most of your coverage.
