Health Insurance for Nepalese Students in the USA
55,870 Nepalese students study in the US — one of the fastest-growing groups. Nepal's health insurance is invalid here. Get covered from $25/month.
Why Nepalese Health Insurance Doesn't Work in the US
Nepal's NHIP covers treatment at enrolled hospitals in Nepal only. Private Nepali insurers (Nepal Life, Shikhar Insurance) do not have US claims networks. Nepal has the 3rd-fastest growing international student population in the US — and most arrive unaware their home coverage is invalid.
Your Nepalese insurance card is simply not accepted at US hospitals. US healthcare billing is entirely different — hospitals bill at full "chargemaster" rates to uninsured patients, which can be 3–10x higher than what insurance companies negotiate.
What Your US University Requires
Nepal has one of the highest F-1 visa approval rates of any South Asian country, and enrollment has grown 500%+ since 2018. Many Nepalese students attend regional state universities with lower waiver thresholds.

Navigating US Healthcare as a Nepalese Student
Many Nepalese students come from families unfamiliar with health insurance as a concept — healthcare in Nepal is largely direct-pay at low cost. The US insurance system (copays, networks, deductibles, prior authorization) can be confusing. Tower Hill's team can walk you through the basics.
