Travel Medical Insurance

Question:

Going to school in France My daughter is going to school in France this fall. Though she is registered for one term, she may be staying for two. Can we buy insurance for the whole trip, which would be 9/06 to 5/06? Also, we will most likely be changing her return day - possibly to 7/07. Is this covered by the policy?

Answer:

I assume you want to buy travel health insurance. In that case, you can purchase Protection America for any duration you like, anywhere from 5 days to 3 years. And after initial period, you can renew the insurance for any duration from 5 days to 1 year at a time. If her trip gets extended from 5/07 to 7/07, you can just renew the insurance. You can make instant purchase online at https://www.insubuy.com If your question pertains to any other insurance product, please let me know so that I can answer accordingly. Please let us know if you have any other questions.


Thanks for that information. I was also wondering if the ticket insurance would apply to this as well.


Trip cancellation insurance plans such as Patriot TRIP are primarily trip cancellation insurance and cover your non-refundable prepaid portion of your trip. In case you can't go to the trip for the covered reason, you get the money up to the trip cost back. There is not much medical coverage in trip cancellation insurance plans and coverage is only for 30 days. Please let me know if you have any other questions.


One more question (at least for now!). Does the medical coverage include the US if we come home for a short time during an extended stay?


Please look at 'Incidental home country coverage' and 'End of trip home country coverage' in the brochure at /patriot-america-lite/visitor-insurance/
