HTH Health Insurance
All Northwestern students are required to be enrolled in HTH Worldwide health insurance for the duration of their summer program.
Note: Students participating in the IES Arles Summer Program are not required to purchase HTH insurance because it is provided by IES Abroad.
Cost
The cost of the HTH plan is approximately $6.36 per week (or partial week) for the student participant.Coverage
Coverage is also available for the participant's spouse and family at an additional charge. HTH is meant to be supplemental to a domestic health plan, and it only provides coverage for a student when s/he is outside the United States. Because HTH does not provide coverage for students upon return to the United States, it is essential that domestic health plans that do provide such coverage in the U.S. remain in effect.Enrollment
Northwestern students can enroll in the HTH plan online. You must enroll for the entire duration of their program, including the days spent traveling to and from their host location. Upon completion of the online enrollment process, print out a receipt that shows proof of the transaction. A copy of the receipt should be submitted to the Study Abroad Office with your pre-departure forms by the specified deadline. If you fail to submit any of the required pre-departure forms or fail to purchase the HTH insurance will not be officially approved by Northwestern to study abroad.Questions?
Once enrolled, you and your parents should become familiar with the details of the policy and how to get medical care overseas if needed. If you have questions or concerns about the HTH insurance policy, please contact Chris Johnson, Director of Northwestern University Risk Management, at 847-491-8518 or e-mail cljohnson@northwestern.edu.For more details on the HTH Insurance Plan, please visit http://www.northwestern.edu/risk/abroad.htm
