A point to remember, if at all possible try to have your own copy of the insurance card esp. when you are covered through your parents employer. At the minimum a copy of both sides of the cards and have it in a safe place and can access it in an emergency. My daughter was seen at an off campus facility in an emergency. Your insurance carrier can hold up the claim a long time and then ask you for proof that your child is indeed a full time student. Heads up… if you can take care of this with your insurance customer service rep before you leave that may save a lot of hassle.
