My S is overseas on a 3 month study abroad this summer. We purchased a student health insurance plan. Allegedly, our insurance would cover some things, but hearing about other people’s experience with coordinating coverage, we opted to add an international student health plan through a company called Atlas International. They offer things like medical evacuation in addition to hospital coverage. A friend broke her leg on a trip to Egypt and dealt with a nightmare in getting her insurance to cover the surgery and trip back home to the states - she told me about these plans.
