Students at NYU Florence generally have three levels of health insurance coverage: Italian emergency insurance, GeoBlue insurance, and a home insurance policy. The reasons for such extensive coverage include immigration requirements, a need for direct coverage for non-emergency medical issues while abroad, and coverage in the event that returning home during the period of study becomes necessary.
Home Insurance
Home Insurance
Because GeoBlue is not valid in students’ home countries or when students are no longer enrolled in study away, NYU requires that all students maintain an equivalent of the NYU health insurance plan in their home country. Students should be sure to have all of their insurance information (including their insurance card and copies of their insurance company’s claim forms, many of which are available online) with them in Florence. For information about the NYU Student Health Insurance, please visit the NYU Student Health Center website.
Italian Health Insurance
Italian Health Insurance
Immigration law requires that all non-EU citizens obtain Italian insurance. The charge is included in the program fees, and NYU Florence obtains the insurance for you. The Italian health insurance only covers doctor-designated emergency care that requires urgent hospitalization. It does not cover visits to the doctor, non-emergency visits to the emergency room, tests, exams, or medications. For Italian emergency insurance, the provider is Generali Assicurazioni SpA.
