We will post another plan in the next couple of days for those who are no longer students and visiting parents.) IFCSS Medical Insurance Program is the most-welcome program among Chinese students in the U.S.. It has been in effect for over three years. About 4,000 students and their dependents are currently enrolled in the program. Considering that many schools provide free medical insurance while others require their students to buy the plan endorsed by the school, this is a very large number. IFCSS Program is reliable, being fully insured by Lloyds at London, the world's largest group of insurers with a history of 300 years. The program is administered by International Group Services, Inc., which has been extremely responsive to students' concerns. During the past months, the IFCSS HQ has not heard a single complaint. Right now, the claim is processed on the same day it is received. Getting into a dispute with an insurance company is a common event in the U.S.. If you buy IFCSS Program, you do not have to spend months haggling with the company, IFCSS will take care of the argument and see to it that your interests are not encroached upon. IFCSS Program is endorsed by National Association of Foreign Student Advisors. It has an annual rate of $396 for students, $1,980 for student and spouse, and $480 for a child. If you need a brochure or application form, please call 800- 394-2500 or 703-591-9800. You can also e-mail or call IFCSS HQ for information. ********************************************************************* * IFCSS Headquarters Office * *-------------------------------------------------------------------* * President: Lin Changsheng Vice President: Shi Heping * *-------------------------------------------------------------------* * PBS-L is IFCSS's news distribution list for individuals.
