InterGlobal launches International Student Plans
New plans provide comprehensive health insurance for students studying abroad
International private medical insurer InterGlobal has launched two new international private medical insurance (PMI) plans, designed to provide comprehensive protection to students studying abroad from under £40 (US$60) a month.
The new InterGlobal International Students Plans are available either as individual or group schemes. They provide comprehensive protection against the cost of inpatient, daycare and outpatient medical treatment in the country where the student is studying. The standard plan also provides access to emergency dental treatment, family assistance, emergency medical evacuation and red24 security assistance, while the International Students Plus plan additionally provides maternity care, cover against loss of tuition fees and coverage for personal belongings.
Stephen Hartigan, CEO, InterGlobal, says:
“We’ve designed these plans specifically to meet the needs of students studying abroad – which means we have been able to provide a comprehensive level of cover at a very reasonable cost. As the vast majority of students only study in a single overseas country – we have managed the cost of cover by simply providing protection in the country where they’re studying.
“Both plans provide an excellent level of PMI protection to students and also include access to expert security advice through our exclusive tie up with security specialist red24. This means they are able to access 24/7 telephone advice about their personal security and personalised pre-travel advisories.
“We believe these new single country student plans will appeal to parents whose children are studying abroad for the first time – but they are also suitable for more mature students as well, with cover available up to the age of 35 for students and their dependants. We can also provide cover for students who are planning to study in a range of countries or travel internationally through our existing UltraCare PMI plans.”
