Do you have an ID card from your health insurance that you show providers for proof of coverage when you go for doctor visits? Can you zerox the card, front and back, and use that as proof of health insurance in lieu of a letter? Perhaps your husband’s company has something else to show coverage on employee benefits?

Also, I agree with the excellent advice to purchase international health insurance for students at the college where your child will attend. I am surprised they would not offer it and it does not matter if going through your U.S. university study abroad office.
