International students applying to Cal Poly Pomona sign an agreement to purchase the mandatory health insurance available through the university. The name of the insurance is Health Care Plus. This policy meets the requirements of the California State University System. The payments are for annual, year-round coverage. Students are billed for the insurance their first quarter of enrollment and every Fall quarter thereafter. When students graduate or leave the university (or if their status changes) they can apply for a refund for the remaining quarters. Coverage must be continuous, therefore, students must maintain their insurance for the entire time they are attending Cal Poly Pomona, even if they leave the Unites States for a quarter or for the summer.
Scholastic Insurance Services, Inc. is the local company that administers the international student health insurance for Cal Poly Pomona students. Their staff is available to help answer any questions you may have about health insurance including policy coverage, providers, processing claims, etc. Their phone number is (818) 610-0660.

If possible, students should visit the Cal Poly Pomona Health Services Center first for treatment of any injury or sickness. To determine whether an off-campus physician or hospital (provider) is a member of the health insurance preferred provider organization (PPO) students can visit the Beechstreet website at: www.beechstreet.com and call (800) 937-2277 ext.7490 with any questions. Students can use an off-campus provider that is not on the PPO list but the coverage will be lower. Please refer to the Health Care Plus 2001/2002 School Year brochure (available at the International Center or through Scholastic Insurance Services, Inc.) for more information.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency you should call 9-1-1.
Prescriptions are paid for at time of purchase. A health insurance claim must be submitted for reimbursement. Prescriptions bought at Student Health Services will be reimbursed at 100% while those bought elsewhere will be reimbursed at 50%.
