MANDATORY Medical Insurance


All Edmonds College students with F-1 student visa status are required to purchase the school medical insurance plan, managed by LewerMark Student Insurance. If you are in the U.S. on a vacation quarter, you are still required to purchase student medical insurance. 

Visit our costs page for the current medical insurance rate.

Exceptions

Edmonds College cannot waive the requirement for any student with F-1 status. The only exceptions are:

  • Government Sponsored Students (e.g. Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission, Swedish Board of Student Finance, etc.)
  • Concurrently enrolled students with an I-20 from another school.

If you have questions about the insurance plan, please visit the OIP office, email oip_fiscal@edmonds.edu, or call 425.640.1518.

For detailed information about the plan and to download your insurance card, please visit the LewerMark website. You can also call 1-800-821-7710 or email lewermarksupport@lewer.com.

Attending school in the U.S. is a life-changing experience. We understand it also comes with its challenges. Through your student insurance, you have 24/7, free, and confidential access to a counselor. Counselors speak your language, understand your culture, and can help with every issue, including: relationships, adapting to a new culture, school, stress, loneliness, addiction, and mental health.
