<p>I don’t have any as of this moment and will need to purchase from the university I will be attending this fall (Atlanta). However, it costs $1,800 a year. I am looking around for plans that cost lower. Do you have any recommendations? Do they cover study abroad?</p>
<p>bump…</p>
<p>$150/month is not particularly expensive. Our policy covers our d. while she is at school (we bought the $233 rider so that she can use student health services in a pinch); her study abroad program requires that we purchase their insurance (as they have been in the town for 75 years, the program knows how to make best use of it.) (Also costs $1,800).</p>
<p>Does the U’s insurance give you any advantage with the U’s own medical facilities or local providers if referred by the U? If so, the $1,800 might be smart.</p>
<p>I purchased the international students insurance policy offered by my son’s school ($400 something) . I also have him on my local one which is an international policy out of the UK. I kept him on it since he had major medical problems last year and didn’t know if there would be a follow up needed.</p>
