Students looking to obtain health insurance should keep the following in mind: [row] [column lg="6" md="6" sm="6" xs="12" ]
Students on SFS programs are required to procure their own comprehensive health insurance, valid in the country (or countries) in which the program operates, for the full duration of their SFS program. SFS does not review individual insurance policies to ensure comprehensive international coverage; it is the students’ responsibility to ensure that the insurance coverage meets the requirements.
Students looking to obtain health insurance should keep the following in mind:
SFS does not provide insurance for personal property of students (e.g. personal laptop computer). Students may wish to purchase personal property insurance on their own.
SFS does not provide travel insurance for airfare or reimbursement for trip cancellation. Students can look at options for travel insurance on their own through SFS’s recommended travel agency or their personal travel agent.
In the event that a student requires medical attention during a program, a staff member will accompany them on the visit(s) to a medical care facility. Students are liable for all incidental expenses, including medical costs, transportation, accommodations, etc., incurred by all parties involved during these visits. Students must pay in full for these expenses prior to departure from the program.
All SFS students are automatically enrolled in the SFS Emergency Evacuation and Repatriation insurance plan through American International Group, Inc. (AIG). This insurance is effective for the duration of the program and does not cover personal travel before or after the program.
Benefits of the SFS Emergency Evacuation and Repatriation insurance plan include:
The coverage provided by the SFS Emergency Evacuation and Repatriation insurance plan is NOT the same as health, medical, or dental insurance. The plan covers the cost of transportation, accommodations, and medical care associated with an evacuation (e.g. life-saving support during transport in an air evacuation), in cases where the evacuation is deemed medically necessary. This insurance plan does not cover urgent or emergency medical care, basic medical care, laboratory tests, or pharmacy needs. Therefore, students on SFS programs are required to supply their own comprehensive health insurance, valid in the country or countries in which the program operates, for the full duration of their SFS program as outlined above.
