Student Health Insurance Plan

The Florida Board of Governors requires that all international students enrolled at UWF in a visa status of F or J have health insurance (including those applying for F or J status). For this reason, enrollment in the LewerMark UWF Student Health Insurance Plan is automatic at the time of registration, and the cost of the policy is included in the student’s semester fee charges. 

Upon enrollment in UWF classes, the cost of the LewerMark Student Health Insurance Plan will be added to your tuition/fee bill for the requested semester(s).

The Fall fees bill will include the cost of insurance for the fall semester.
The Spring fees bill will include the cost of insurance for both spring and summer terms.

Information Sessions regarding the UWF LewerMark International Student Health Insurance Plan will be offered during International Student Orientation, and further information will be given in the international student check-in process with the UWF Office of International Affairs.

Voluntary Enrollment for Non-F1 and Non-J1 International Students

Only UWF students in an F-1 or J-1 visa status, and those applying for an F-1 or J-1 visa, are required by the Florida Board of Governors to maintain health insurance and are automatically billed for insurance.

However, students in any other visa category have the option to purchase an International Student Health Insurance Plan through LewerMark during their studies at UWF. If you elect to enroll in this plan voluntarily, you'll pay LewerMark directly for insurance premium fees.

We highly encourage all students to have health insurance coverage. Medical care in the United States is extremely expensive, and you may also be subject to U.S. tax penalties if you do not maintain health insurance. See more information about exploring your health insurance options on the LewerGlobal website.
