Extended Insurance Coverage

Options for extending your insurance coverage before and/or after your program:

  • Purchase Coverage before your program
  • Purchase coverage after your program
  • Purchase coverage before and after your program
    Note: The month of coverage cannot be split up to 2 weeks before 2 weeks after, nor any other combinations.

This coverage is monthly-based, so if you are traveling for less than a month before or after your program, you still need to purchase the full month.
