What are the main aspects to know regarding international health insurance? We have compiled a list for you that includes the key advantages of EDUCARE-WORLD.
Most travel insurances need to be concluded before departure. Once you have arrived abroad, most providers do not offer insurance anymore. EDUCARE-WORLD can be concluded after departure. Thus, EDCUARE-WORLD is particularly suited for latecomers. However, we recommend concluding insurance before the beginning of your stay abroad to make sure that you have coverage for the complete duration of your stay. Please notice that there is a waiting period of 14 days for medical claims if insurance was purchased more than one month after border crossing. This waiting period does not apply in case of an accident or if EDUCARE-WORLD was purchased subsequently to a prior insurance.
Apart from the J-2, F-1 und F-2 Visa requirements, EDUCARE-WORLD meets all the insurance criteria which the Department of State has stipulated for J-1 visa exchange programs in the USA. These include, among others, a minimum coverage of $100,000 for medical treatment in case of illness and accidents, a coverage of $25,000 for the repatriation of remains in case of death as well as a very good financial strength rating by specified rating agencies such as A.M. Best, Standard & Poor's or Fitch.
EDUCARE-WORLD is more than just an ordinary travel health insurance policy. In addition to comprehensive health insurance abroad, the tariffs M and L also provide you with accident insurance, liability insurance as well as assistance insurance. EDUCARE-WORLD L additionally includes baggage insurance.
EDUCARE-WORLD includes comprehensive assistance services that are vital for young travelers and will soothe their parents’ jangled nerves. These services include a 24-hour emergency number, organization and cost coverage of a visit to the insured person by a close relative in case of a hospital stay as a result of critical illness/an accident as well as legal assistance and help with lost means of payment.

Not only medically necessary but also medically advisable repatriation is covered. In practice, the difference can mean being able to return to your home country instead of having to spend a longer time in a hospital abroad.
If the traveler lives with a host family during his time abroad, the host family is covered within the scope of liability insurance, too. The maximum amount for bodily injury and property damage payable for claims of the host family is €1,000,000. Damages to rented property are covered up to €100,000. There is a deductible of €100 per claim.
