Why is international health insurance essential when studying overseas?

  • Moving overseas to study.. 
    Rest assured that should you fall ill you'll have access to the best private care to ensure you get the treatment you need. 

  • Continued episodes of tonsillitis were affecting studies. Quick access to a private specialist doctor allowed studies to resume without delay 
    Approximate costs £245/$320/€270

  • The pressures of university can be tough. 
    Don’t miss any valuable study time by falling ill- get the treament you need quickly and at a hospital of your choice.

  • A university ski trip could have ended badly following a fall on the slopes. An A&E visit and x-rays were all covered and luckily no break to the ankle
    Approximate costs £320/$420/€350

    Le systeme de payment en ligne par carte mastercard a crache 2x de suite ( message error) obligeant a recomencer la souscription a zero. La 3eme fut la bonne. Le probleme semble etre le chargement de la page initial et non la validation du paiment.

    Pour l'instant je n'ai fait que souscrire. J'espère que la prise en charge est tout aussi aisée. En espérant néanmoins ne jamais avoir à vous solliciter.

    TRES BON ACCUEIL. RENSEIGNEMENTS DONNES CLAIRS ET PRECIS.

    Paiement en ligne inaccessible. Longue attente pour finaliser le dossier au téléphone. Informations contradictoire au téléphone selon les opérateurs. Très déçu.

  • 16 September 2018

    Site facile a utiliser.

  • 14 September 2018

    Tout serait parfait s'il avait été possible de faire parvenir les documents scannés par mail. De plus, pourquoi ne pas proposer l'option "monde" dans la liste des pays ? Choisir un pays parmi tant d'autres même si l'on pense y rester un plus longtemps n'a pas trop de sens.
