Student Insurance All EuroLearn programs include comprehensive international health insurance for the duration of your program. The insurance is included in the program fees and is mandatory for each EuroLearn program participant. This is not applicable to the EuroScholars program where all candidates must show proof of international health coverage. EuroLearn recommends that you maintain your current primary health insurance while abroad. This is particularly important if you have any pre-existing conditions, but is also beneficial if you have an injury or illness while abroad and require further treatment upon your return home. You should consult with your current insurance provider to confirm coverage policies while traveling abroad. Policies will vary from company to company and you will want to have all of the information before your departure to make the most educated decision about purchasing additional health coverage. HTH Worldwide Insurance Students attending any EuroLearn program will be provided student accident and sickness insurance under the HTH Worldwide Policy. You will receive a copy of your insurance card via email approximately 4 weeks prior to your departure. HTH Worldwide provides health insurance plans and global medical assistance services for students abroad. HTH programs are distinguished by a contracted community of over 5,000 hospitals and doctors in 180 countries. HTH combines its health and safety research, advanced Internet and mobile applications, and extensive experience in designing and delivering international health insurance plans to ensure customers’ health, safety and peace of mind.

Recommended Insurance Insuring Personal Items If you are going to be traveling with expensive electronic equipment, such as a laptop or digital camera, you should insure them against theft. It is also recommended that you take the original receipt for purchase of your laptop. It is not recommended that you mail the laptop to your study abroad site as there may be difficulties retrieving it from customs without hefty duty charges. Your family homeowner’s insurance may cover your personal belongings, it is a good idea to review your current homeowner’s coverage before departure or you could consider the insurance available through the equipment manufacturer. Travel Insurance If you have not yet considered Travel Insurance, it is important to do so. We recommend that you consider world-wide international travel insurance through the Travel Protection policy offered by STA Travel. Some of the inclusions of this Travel Protection policy are trip cancellation, trip interruption, trip delay, and baggage and personal effects protection.
