Important Notes about Health Insurance
All incoming NSE students must either purchase Sagrado's health insurance policy or show proof of equivalent coverage in Puerto Rico. Many U.S. health insurance providers treat Puerto Rico as ''out-of-network'' so it is important to verify with your health insurance provider what coverage is available to you in Puerto Rico.
