All International students enrolled in St. John’s College – Santa Fe

Are automatically enrolled in this insurance plan at registration, unless proof of comparable coverage is furnished. 

Any International Student insured in an insurance plan through a US employer and through Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission can submit a request to be waived out of the St. John’s – Santa Fe student health insurance plan.  Students requesting a waiver must submit a copy of the insurance plan or a letter of Certification of Coverage.  This information should be emailed to [email protected].

The State of New Mexico has not approved any student health insurance plans.  The St. John’s College – Santa Fe requires students to maintain health insurance to assure there is no disruption of their education due to the financial impact of an unexpected illness or injury

St. John’s College Santa Fe has secured the services of UROne Benefits to assist students with a search of alternative health insurance plans.  You can reach UROne Benefits at 800-722-7331.

The insurance plans offered either through your parents’ employer or in the Marketplace have a variety of options.  Some plans will limit coverage and services if the individual is seeking routine medical services outside of their home state.

Most, if not all plans will offer coverage in the event of an emergency, but would require the insured to return to their home state for routine medical care.  This can result in significant out-of-pocket expenses or delays in receiving proper care.

Please check with your insurance company to see if they have any options to extend coverage to the Santa Fe area.  Most of the national insurance companies will expand coverage outside of the home state at no cost to the insured.  Some will reference this as a Guest Membership or Away from Home Care. 

The implementation of this type of plan can properly protect you and ensure there is access for all medical care while you are away from home.  The process can take up to 60 days to complete, so please contact your insurance company in advance to arriving on campus.

Students should also use discount Prescription drug sites, which may result in lower out-of-pocket expenses for your medication.  Two popular sites for discounted prescription medications are through Amazon and Good Rx.  We provided links below for your convenience.
