While overseas it is important that you understand the health requirements of the country. As part of your pre-departure orientation you will be informed of all issues relating to medical care, insurance, and immunizations. It is also very important that you make CISabroad aware of any pre-existing health conditions that may impact you during your time abroad well before your departure. Announcement of any health conditions, either prior or existing, will not affect your admission to any CISabroad programs; quite the contrary, revealing this will allow for the host institution and CISabroad to make proper accommodations prior to your departure.
Medical treatment in a foreign country is not something we expect you to require, but should the need arise, we want to make sure you are adequately covered. The cost of medical and accident insurance, no matter where you study, is included in the program fee.
We include comprehensive overseas medical and accident insurance coverage for all our participants. Our coverage was designed in conjunction with Cultural Insurance Services International (CISI), and includes the following maximum benefits:
Accidental Death: $10,000
Basic Medical: $200,000 (no deductible)
