Cancellation

Premiums will be refunded in full if cancellation request is received prior to the certificate effective date.

Premiums may be refunded after the certificate effective date subject to the following provisions:
  1. A $25 cancellation fee will apply for administrative costs incurred by us; and
  2. Only premium for unused whole-months, if paying in monthly installments, or unused days, if paid in full, of the plan will be refunded; and
  3. You cannot have filed any claims to be eligible for premium refund; and
  4. No refund of premium shall be granted after 60 days.

Eligibility

  1. You must be under age 65; and
    1. A full-time student at a college or university (excluding online colleges and universities); or
    2. Within 31 days of being a full-time student at a college or university; or
    3. A student under age 19 enrolled in a secondary school; or
    4. A full-time scholar affiliated with an educational institution and performing work or research for at least 30 hours per week;
  2. You must be residing outside your home country for the purpose of pursuing international educational activities; and
  3. You must not have obtained residency status in your host country; and
  4. If in the U.S., you must hold a valid education-related visa. A copy of the I-20 or DS2019 may be requested.
J-1 and F-1 visa holders: The full-time student/scholar status requirement is waived within the U.S. if you have a valid F-1 visa (including OPT) or a J-1 visa. Full-time status requirements remain in force for individuals holding M-1, or other category visas.

Certificate Effective Date

Insurance hereunder is effective on the later of:
  1. The moment we receive application and correct premium if application and payment is made online or by fax; or
  2. 12:01am U.S .Eastern Time on the date we receive application and correct premium if application and payment is made by mail; or
  3. The moment you depart from your home country; or
  4. 12:01am U.S. Eastern Time on the date requested on the application.

Certificate Termination Date

Insurance hereunder terminates on the earlier of:
  1. 11:59pm U.S. Eastern Time on the last day of the period for which premium has been paid; or
  2. 11:59pm U.S. Eastern Time on the date requested on the application; or
  3. 12:01am U.S. Eastern Time on the date you no longer meet eligibility requirements; or
  4. The moment of arrival upon your return to your home country (unless you have started a benefit period or are eligible for home country coverage).

Benefit Period

While the certificate is in effect, the benefit period does not apply. Upon termination of the certificate, we will pay eligible medical expenses for up to 60 days beginning on the first day of diagnosis or treatment of a covered injury or illness while you are outside your home country and while this certificate is in effect. The benefit period applies only to eligible medical expenses related to a condition for which you are hospitalized as an inpatient on the termination date of the certificate.

In the event you begin a benefit period while the certificate is in effect, and the certificate terminates because you return to your home country, we will pay eligible medical expenses which are incurred in your home country during the benefit period. Home country coverage applies only to eligible medical expenses for which you are hospitalized as an inpatient on the termination date of the certificate.

Incidental Home Country Coverage

You must have purchased three months of coverage for the Incidental Home Country Coverage to be in effect.

For every three-month period during which you are covered, eligible medical expenses are covered up to a maximum of 15 days for any three-month period.

Any benefit accrued under a single three-month period does not accumulate to another period. Failure to continue your international trip or your return to your home country for the sole purpose of obtaining treatment for an illness or injury that began while traveling shall void any incidental home country coverage.

For all non-U.S. citizens electing coverage “Excluding the U.S.” and for all U.S. citizens or residents, no coverage is provided within the U.S., except for U.S. citizens or residents during an eligible incidental home country visit or an eligible benefit period.
