According to the regulations of the Ministry of Education of China, every international student who studies in China should be covered with a medical insurance, and those studying for six months or longer should join the group medical insurance scheme designated by the university/college, meeting the fundamental medical insurance standard.

The group comprehensive insurance plan for the international students of Tsinghua University is underwritten by PingAn Anuity Insurance Company.

The students should pay for the insurance on time, to assure the medical insurance coverage. The price is RMB 600 for one year and RMB 300 for six months.
