Purchasing Insurance

Accident and Health Insurance

International students must provide proof of a health insurance policy covering at least six months before registration. If the policy is issued outside of Taiwan, it must be verified by a Taiwanese overseas representative office. Since you are currently ineligible to enroll in Taiwan's National Health Insurance, the Office of Global Affairs (OGA) can assist you in purchasing a six-month insurance policy. The cost is NT$3,000 for international students and NT$600 for overseas Chinese students.

Student Group Insurance: 

• The insurance company will cover part of the costs for medical treatment, surgeries, and hospitalization due to accidents. The policy includes coverage for accidental medical expenses, surgeries, and hospitalization for illnesses. (For detailed information, please refer to the Tzu Chi University Health Care Section webpage - Student Group Insurance).
• Insurance Period: The policy is processed at the beginning of each semester and covers the following periods: February 1 to July 31 and August 1 to January 31 of the following year.
• Insurance Claim Procedure: Complete the "Student Insurance Claim Application Form" (available for download on the Health Care Section webpage). Attach the diagnosis certificate, medical expense receipts, and a copy of the beneficiary’s bankbook. Submit these documents to the Health Care Section for review and processing by the insurance company.
