RFP 17-27 International Students Health Insurance Services

The Houston Community College, (“HCC”) or (“College”) is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide International Students Health Insurance Services in accordance with the Scope of Services contained in this solicitation. The federal government mandates that all J-1 and J-2 visa holders must have health insurance and strongly recommends that all F-1 and M-1 visa holders have health insurance. However, beyond the federal government regulation it would be in the best interest of international students and HCC to mandate health insurance for international students. Many community colleges mandate health insurance to eliminate the problems that could occur if a student dies in the US without repatriation insurance or faces a medical crisis without insurance. It is anticipated that the contract term for contract award resulting from this solicitation, if any, will be one (1) year with the option to renew for four (4) one-year terms. Further, HCC reserves the right to extend the contract term for one semester, not to exceed three (3) months upon the expirations of the initial term and any successive renewal term. Houston Community College requires all F1 and J1 visa international students to have health insurance that meets the minimum requirements set by HCC and commonly required by other universities and colleges in the United States. HCC will select an insurance provider or give the student’s the option to purchase their own as long as the minimum requirements required by HCC are met.
