  • Student Health Insurance

  • We strongly urge all HPU students to have medical insurance.  If you are a student from the U.S. mainland, contact your insurance carrier regarding the scope of coverage in Hawaii.  

    Department of Homeland Security regulations require that colleges and universities certify that international students have sufficient funds on hand to defray expenses in the event of an emergency. HPU has determined that a mandatory health care program best satisfies this requirement for our international students. Hence, all full-time international students are REQUIRED to either purchase one of the HPU plans or obtain a waiver.

    We are pleased to offer Kaiser medical insurance plans. The Kaiser Plan is an HMO plan that makes it easy for HPU students to get their medical services at convenient Kaiser locations statewide--11 locations on Oahu, five on Maui, and three on the Big Island of Hawaii. Students can choose or change their Primary Care Physician (PCP) at any time and are welcome to make same-day appointments at any Kaiser Clinic. The Honolulu Clinic (1010 Pensacola Street) is conveniently located within 15 minutes of the HPU downtown campus. Access to the parking structure, as well as the building, is available on both King and Pensacola Streets. In addition, the clinic is situated directly along city bus routes both to and from the downtown campus. Bus directions from the HPU downtown campus: on Hotel Street (east-bound), take Bus #1 (all routes), #2, #13 to the Honolulu Clinic. Get off at King Street, just before Pensacola; the clinic is across the street. Call The Bus at (808) 848-5555 for schedule information. For more information, go to the online director of Kaiser locations, physicians, or services at http://kp.org/ourfacilities.

  • Attention International Students

  • Additional requirements for International Students:

  • Repatriation of remains in the amount of $7,500

  • Plans that are NOT accepted include:

  • Life insurance policies
  • Travel insurance plans
  • Accident or hospitalization only plans

  • To obtain a waiver, international students must submit proof of medical coverage (meeting the above stated requirements) in ENGLISH only. Please take care of this BEFORE the semester begins.  Questions can be directed to the Welcome Center in UB 200 (1164 Bishop Street, 2nd floor).
