Liaison® Student Travel Medical Insurance
Specialized travel medical insurance plans for students, faculty, scholars, and their families.
Why do I need student medical insurance?
If you’re traveling abroad to study or work, you want to be prepared for safe travel. Liaison Student is designed for students and faculty who need overseas health insurance protection. The plan provides student insurance for travelers to the USA and all over the world, as well as protection for U.S. residents traveling internationally.
The plan meets travel insurance requirements for most types of visas. Even if your visa program or work/study abroad program doesn’t require student medical insurance, it’s important to have protection. If you become sick or hurt while you’re away from your home country, your home health insurance may not pay for medical expenses you incur abroad. Plan ahead for your trip and purchase student travel insurance.
Coronavirus Travel Insurance
If you’re looking for a plan that also covers COVID-19 medical expenses, choose Liaison Student Plus. We encourage you to ensure you are healthy before you travel. COVID-19 is not covered if you contract it before your plan begins.

We will email you an extension (renewal) notice before your coverage expires, giving you the option to renew your plan. A $5 administrative fee is charged for each renewal.
When we receive your payment for the extension, we will extend your plan’s expiration date. A new coinsurance will apply beginning the 365th day of continuous coverage and each additional 365th day thereafter.
