So you’ve been an international student for some time now, living on your own in a foreign country. You’ve been skyping back and forth with your parents, dealing with the intermittent phone calls that are sometimes hard to coordinate with the time change. But this time they’ve announced that they are ready to come for a visit.
Whether your parents will be coming to visit for a week, month, or perhaps are planning to move into your dorm room, you will want to make sure that your parents are covered on their trip abroad. In many cases, international travel insurance may not come to your parent’s mind, as they are busy packing their bags with your favorite items – although unfortunately customs put a limit on some foods that will remain in the back of your mind – but on the top of your to-do list when you come home.
The Travel Medical plan is designed for individuals traveling outside their home country – including travel insurance for your parent’s journey to visit you overseas. The plan provides coverage for inpatient and outpatient services, prescription drugs, emergency medical evacuation, repatriation, doctor office visits, etc. By having your parents properly insured, this will provide them with the peace of mind that they can travel around with ease and comfort. This can be especially important in countries where the medical system may be just as foreign as the language. And the added plus – one less thing to worry about!
