Because of the high cost of medical care in the United States, adequate health insurance coverage is REQUIRED of all international students attending classes. Although insurance is NOT an admission requirement you will be required to show proof of coverage at the beginning of each semester or a registration hold will be placed on your record. Proof of coverage needs to be sent to international@bobbyingano.com
The school recommends an insurance plan with premiums and benefits directed to meet the needs of international students. This health insurance plan is required of all international students UNLESS proof of comparable insurance is provided.
HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN RECOMMENDED BY BUTTE COLLEGE
ISO Insurance (International Student Insurance) - http://www.isoa.org/
We require students to purchase the ISO SECURE or COMPASS PPO policy.
If you believe you have sufficient health insurance from a company other than the recommended company above, you must provide a copy of your health insurance policy, written in ENGLISH, to Rachel Wood, Program Coordinator for the International Program.
The policy information that you submit for review must include:
• Student's name
• Effective term of coverage (beginning and ending date of policy)
• Maximum USD coverage for each sickness or injury
• Outline of covered services (see Min. Coverage requirements below)
• List of excluded services
• Address and telephone number of the insurance company

If your insurance policy is approved, you will not be required to purchase additional health insurance.
