Health Insurance for Vietnamese Students in the USA
21,900 Vietnamese students study in the US. Vietnam's BHYT has no coverage here. Get protected from $25/month — 5x cheaper than the university plan.
Why Vietnamese Health Insurance Doesn't Work in the US
Vietnam's Social Health Insurance (Bảo hiểm Y tế / BHYT) covers treatment only at registered healthcare facilities in Vietnam. Vietnamese private insurers (Bảo Việt, PTI, Dai-ichi Life) also do not provide US coverage. Vietnam is one of the fastest-growing sources of US international students.
Your Vietnamese 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
Vietnamese students on F-1 visas are subject to the same university health insurance requirements as all international students.

All plans are F-1 visa compliant, include US PPO network access, and are accepted as health insurance waivers at most US universities.
Accepted at 500+ US universities as a health insurance waiver. US PPO network, mental health, preventive care, prescription drugs.
Competitive pricing with strong US hospital network. Popular among budget-conscious international students who still want comprehensive coverage.
Lowest price point that meets most US university minimum requirements. Ideal for students needing basic compliance.
Navigating US Healthcare as a Vietnamese Student
Vietnam's public healthcare system is affordable but inconsistent — many Vietnamese families use private hospitals and pay out-of-pocket. In the US, private care at full billed rates is catastrophically expensive without insurance. A $25–$30/month US plan prevents disaster.
