How Does Student Travel Insurance Work?

International health coverage for students provides medical, non-medical, and trip-related benefits for individuals pursuing higher studies abroad.

Below is a step-by-step guide to how student visa travel insurance works:

  1. You purchase the insurance: When securing your study trip, you must evaluate multiple student travel insurance policies and choose one whose benefits align with your university’s requirements.
  2. Pay the premium: After assessing the plan benefits and exclusions and comparing the travel insurance premium, you must pay the premium via a secure payment gateway.
  3. File claims: Once you embark on your study venture, you shall be covered under a financial blanket. You may file a claim during your stay in the foreign country if a covered emergency arises.
  4. Claim Settlement: Once you provide the required documentation, the insurer will evaluate the claim. If approved, the claim shall be settled directly to your bank account. In case of claim rejection, you shall be informed of the reason.

How Much Does Student Travel Insurance Cost?

The premium the insured student must pay under student travel insurance is based on factors such as the destination country, study tenure, and selected coverage. The Student travel insurance offered by Care Health Insurance ensures your medical and non-medical needs are covered without leaving a gap in your budget. Let us understand this with the help of a case study:

Case Study

Satakshi, a 22-year-old Student, plans to pursue a master's degree from Princeton University. She opts for a Student trip insurance plan from Care Health Insurance. Below is how the overall premium will be calculated for her:

Insured Member(s) Age Any Pre-existing Disease Sum Insured Policy Duration Premium Amount (approx.)
1 22 years No $ 30,000 30 Days ₹612~

~The above-mentioned travel insurance premium is calculated subject to no pre-existing medical conditions of the insured member. It considers that the insured member has not been diagnosed, hospitalised, or undergone any treatment in the last 48 months. Also, the premium amount is subject to change if the insured person has previously claimed under any travel policy.

What Factors Affect Student Travel Insurance Premium?

Factors such as study tenure, destination, medical history, and the insured member's age are considered to calculate the premium for your overseas student trip insurance.

Below is an explanation of how various factors affect the cost of student travel insurance:

Insurer’s Insight: While disclosing your pre-existing condition and complete study tenure may increase your premium, it is always advised that you disclose all the trip details to ensure complete coverage throughout the policy period.

How to Buy Student Travel Insurance Online?

You can typically calculate the premium of international student insurance by following the steps below:

Documents Required to Buy Student Travel Insurance

To make a successful purchase of a student travel insurance, you must have the following documents handy:

Documents Purpose

How to File a Claim Under Student Travel Insurance?

To file a claim under Care Health Insurance’s Student Travel Insurance, you must inform the insurer as soon as the event occurs.

You can follow the steps as mentioned below:

How to Contact Care Health’s Claim Support?

The claims support team from Care Health Insurance ensures you are not stranded amidst a financial emergency. Therefore, we partner with Mayfair We Care to cater to emergency hospitalisation, whereas you can reach out to us at the touch points to ensure a successful claim.

Documents Required to File Student Travel Insurance Claims

Appropriate documentation is the foremost requirement to ensure a seamless and successful claim settlement. Here’s a list of documents that shall be required:

  1. Duly Filled Claim Form: You must fill out a claim form and submit it to your insurer.
  2. Travel Insurance Policy Document: Next, you must provide the details of your international student travel health insurance to confirm your coverage details.
  3. Proof of Identity: A copy of your passport or Aadhaar card may be required to validate the insured person’s identity.
  4. Medical Reports or Doctor’s Certificate: Required if the claim involves medical treatment, hospitalisation, or trip cancellation due to health reasons.
  5. Hospital Bills & Payment Receipts: Original hospital invoices, consultation bills, and pharmacy receipts are mandatory for reimbursement claims under international medical insurance.
  6. Hospital Discharge Summary: If you were hospitalised, the discharge card or summary helps confirm treatment details and duration.
  7. FIR or Police Report: For theft, baggage loss, or personal belongings stolen abroad, an FIR or a local police report is essential.

Pro tip: Always keep your insurer’s contact on standby. Informing them as soon as the incident occurs can ensure quick action.

Health Emergencies & Medical Evacuation Cover

An unforeseen medical emergency in a foreign country may cost you thousands of dollars, hence derailing your finances. Let’s understand how a medical evacuation cover in student travel insurance can be useful in unforeseen medical emergencies:

Shweta, a student pursuing a master’s degree in Switzerland, visits the Swiss Alps for a weekend hiking trip. During the hike, she suffers from severe hypoxia due to the high altitude and is required to be evacuated to the nearest healthcare facility.

Because Shweta had student trip insurance from her home country that covered medical evacuation, she immediately notified the insurer and arranged a cashless medical evacuation facility for her. Thanks to one of the best student travel insurance policies, Shweta could get immediate assistance and financial coverage for evacuation, hospitalisation and treatment, ensuring she didn’t have to worry about the out-of-pocket expenses and could focus on recovery.

Student Travel Insurance for Pre-Existing Medical Conditions

Pre-existing health conditions must not stop you from pursuing your dreams, even if they are across borders! With our student travel insurance plans, we offer coverage for life-threatening conditions that arise from pre-existing diseases.

Here’s what’s generally covered if a life-threatening condition occurs due to a pre-existing disease:

  1. Hospitalisation expenses incurred for the treatment of a life-threatening condition.
  2. Daily Allowance, Compassionate Visit, and Study Interruption coverage shall be offered if medically necessary.
  3. Medical evacuation expenses shall also be covered if the insured is in a life-threatening condition and must be evacuated to the nearest healthcare facility.

Difference Between Student Travel Insurance and Travel Insurance

The difference between standard travel insurance and student travel insurance lies in their coverage. Refer to the table below to understand the key difference as explained by experts at Care Health Insurance:

Travel Insurance Claim Denial: Common Mistakes to Avoid

The foremost reason behind a claim is improper understanding of coverage and incomplete documents. So, to ensure a seamless claim settlement, you must always understand the coverage terms and conditions and submit the documents promptly.

Mentioned below are the detailed reasons for the overseas student insurance claim rejection:

  1. Claims filed for negligence: The insurer may reject claims arising from the insured member's negligence under the student trip insurance plan.
  2. Claim Filing & Process Errors: Incomplete documentation, Improper or wrong information, etc., shall also result in claim rejection.
  3. Incomplete Disclosures: Incomplete disclosures, such as hiding PED, may result in partial or complete claim rejection.
  4. Permanent Exclusions: Claims filed for events mentioned in the “permanent exclusions” section of the policy t&c shall not be entertained.
