Why get health insurance to study abroad?
NOTE: International health insurance and travel insurance are not the same thing and cover different types of risks. Students may choose to obtain both, depending on their needs.
Travel Medical Insurance
Inpatient and Outpatient Services
Medical treatment for injury or illness that may include diagnostic testing, MRI, X-rays, surgical and anesthesia services.
Mental Health
Lifeworks My SSP provides real-time mental health and wellbeing support, 24/7 via their app. If a traveler needs a more in-depth evaluation, outpatient and inpatient mental health support is available.
Emergency Medical Evacuation
If a local hospital is unable to provide adequate treatment for an emergency medical procedure, arrangements are made to transport the traveler to the nearest qualified medical facility.
Repatriation of Mortal Remains
Transportation of human remains to the traveler's home country.
Political and Natural Disaster Evacuation
Includes emergency evacuation for non-medical reasons in the event of war, civil unrest, and natural disasters.
With Lewerglobal's health insurance plans, students studying abroad enjoy the following benefits:
Trip Cancellation
Reimburses pre-paid expenses if a trip is cancelled prior to departure, subject to policy terms.
Trip Interruption
Reimburses non-refundable expenses if a trip ends early or is extended due to a covered reason.
CFAR/IFAR
An add-on that enhances Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption coverage.
Loss of Passport or Visa
Assists in obtaining a new passport, visa, or other required travel documents in the event yours are lost or stolen.
Loss of Luggage
Reimburses the value of lost luggage and their contents, subject to policy terms.
Emergency Medical Treatment
Medical insurance is not the primary offering included in a travel insurance policy. While some travel insurance provides limited coverage for short-term emergency medical treatment, best practice is to purchase a separate comprehensive travel medical insurance plan.
Trip Insurance Plans
Trrip insurance protects student, staff, and faculty’s trip investment.
International Medical Insurance
International medical insurance is suitable for students who are studying or traveling outside of their home country for more than 6 months.
It is also an excellent solution for students who wish to purchase a more comprehensive plan designed with global mobility in mind; these international medical plans often provide better coverage than plans students may purchase through their school or in the public or private market.
Healthcare Costs
International medical insurance covers standard healthcare costs, such as hospital stays and prescriptions.
Specialized Health Benefits
In addition to standard healthcare costs, these policies can cover mental health, organized sports, dental and vision care, and other specialized health benefits.
Pre-Existing Conditions
Coverage may be available to treat pre-existing conditions, subject to medical underwriting.
