<p>I know that I should have asked this question sooner, but here goes. DS leaves on Saturday for a 6-month internship in Saudi Arabia. I am able to keep him on my health insurance; if he needs medical care, it will be out of network. His flights are paid for by the company, housing is provided, and he will be paid enough to live on.</p>
<p>Is there any additional insurance he should have? Where does he get it? Some of the travel insurance websites I have tried to get prices on don’t allow for a 6-month trip. All suggestions are welcome. Thanks!</p>
<p>You might want to get health insurance with medivac, in case he needs to be flown back to the states. (THat being said, DD does not have this.) We found a plan that costs about $50 a month, (more if the deductable is lower) that covers healthy care abroad and medivac transportation back to the states in an emergency… Try googling overseas health insurance…</p>
<p>My daughter has spent more time abroad in the past couple of years than in the states, going all over the place – I always use IMG - (International Medical Group) – [Travel</a> Insurance, Travel Health Insurance, International Travel Insurance ? IMG Insurance](<a href=“http://www.imglobal.com/]Travel”>http://www.imglobal.com/) – I once used something else, but I settled on IMG because at the time I did a comparison of costs & benefits a few years back, it came out the best for our needs. That could change, of course --but so far my daughter’s never needed to use the insurance, but its hassle free for me, so that’s what I went with. I’ve used the Patriot Travel plan – it’s renewable for up to 24 months, so 6 months would be no problem.</p>
