Without appropriate insurance, the bill can quickly become a nightmare for students and their parents.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">with a title<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Case study: The cost of an unexpected hospital stay in the U.S.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine an exchange student in the U.S. hospitalized with emergency appendicitis. Without <strong>overseas student health insurance<\/strong>, the bill can quickly run into the tens of thousands of dollars, including hospitalization costs, medical examinations and surgery. In some cases, the total cost can even increase depending on the length of hospital stay and post-operative care required. Conversely, with a good <strong>international student insurance<\/strong> policy, these costs are generally covered directly or reimbursed at actual cost, avoiding the need for substantial advance payments and, above all, a heavy financial burden for the student and his or her family.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The 3 recommended solutions for students<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To make life easier for students, Carexpat has selected three major partners, offering cover that far exceeds the minimum required by the school (\u20ac100,000 of cover):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/carexpat.com\/blog\/assurances\/ava-assurances\/\">AVA<\/a> (from \u20ac29\/month):<\/strong> The economical and efficient solution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/carexpat.com\/blog\/assurances\/assurtravel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Assur Travel<\/a> (from \u20ac33\/month):<\/strong> The best value for money champion for international travelers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/carexpat.com\/blog\/assurances\/april-international\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">April<\/a> (from \u20ac41\/month):<\/strong> The European leader, ideal for those looking for premium service.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The \u00ab\u00a01st Euro\u00a0\u00bb insurance concept<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Forget about traditional mutual insurances that come \u00ab\u00a0on top\u00a0\u00bb.

So that you&rsquo;re never caught off guard, here are the concrete details of these two situations:<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Emergencies (Hospitalization) : Tiers-Payant int\u00e9gral<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are hospitalized for more than 24 hours (or in the event of a life-threatening emergency), you are covered under the \u00ab\u00a0direct assumption of responsibility\u00a0\u00bb scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Zero out-of-pocket expenses:<\/strong> Unlike the French system, where you may have to pay a fixed daily fee, international student insurance activates the <strong>\u00ab\u00a0tiers-payant\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong> system. You don&rsquo;t need to take out your bank card, even for bills amounting to tens of thousands of dollars.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Procedure:<\/strong> Simply present your insurance card (digital or physical) on admission. If the hospital is not covered by a convention, you (or someone close to you) contact the 24-hour assistance service. The latter issues a <strong>Prise En Charge (PEC)<\/strong> guaranteeing the hospital direct payment of the bill.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Expert advice:<\/strong> <em>\u00ab\u00a0Call your assistance provider before any hospitalization (if possible) so that you can be directed to the best establishments in the area,\u00a0\u00bb<\/em> explains Rapha\u00ebl Le Bars.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-divi-layout\"><h2>carexpat.com, the new way to<br \/><span style=\"color: #15203d\">abroad<\/span><\/h2><h3><span style=\"color: #DBDB19;font-size: 22px\">1.<\/span> Best prices<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>No surcharge on insurance rates,<br \/>\nwe compare over 300 insurance offers<\/li>\n<\/ul><h3><span style=\"color: #DBDB19;font-size: 22px\">2.<\/span> Simplicity<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A simple path to select your<br \/>\nsolution in just a few clicks<\/li>\n<\/ul><h3><span style=\"color: #DBDB19;font-size: 22px\">3.<\/span> Support<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Our advisors provide<br \/>\n100% personalized support<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Routine care (doctor, pharmacy, tests) : Reimbursement of actual expenses<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a simple sore throat, a consultation with a specialist or the purchase of medication, reimbursement is based on the invoice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Advance payment and digitization:<\/strong> You pay for the consultation on the spot.

If you have a doubt on a Sunday evening in Brazil, or in the middle of the night in China, you can consult a French-speaking doctor free of charge via your app, before even visiting a clinic.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Expert tip: Don&rsquo;t limit yourself to just one country!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many students take advantage of their semester to travel to neighboring countries. For example, if you&rsquo;re studying in China and planning a vacation in Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rapha\u00ebl Le Bars&rsquo; advice:<\/strong> <em>\u00ab\u00a0I suggest you choose the &lsquo;Asia&rsquo; zone rather than just China.

It&rsquo;s important to check the <strong>reimbursement ceiling<\/strong>, ideally high (at least \u20ac500,000 to \u20ac1 million), especially for destinations like the United States or Canada, where medical costs are very high.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should also make sure that your<strong>international student insurance<\/strong> covers these countries at actual cost, and includes effective cover for hospitalization. <strong>Repatriation cover<\/strong> is another key point, often indispensable in the event of a serious problem. Added to this are <strong>reimbursement times<\/strong>, which must be fast and digitalized, as well as the quality of the <strong>healthcare network and 24\/7 assistance<\/strong>, guaranteeing support in the event of an emergency. Last but not least, <strong>medical teleconsultation<\/strong> is a real advantage for rapid access to a doctor, wherever you are in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Checklist for a successful subscription<\/strong> for Skema students<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To ensure that your visa and enrolment at Skema are in order, here are the steps to follow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Use the dedicated link :<\/strong> Go to your Skema student portal to access negotiated rates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Paperless:<\/strong> Subscription is 100% digital.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Immediate attestation:<\/strong> As soon as your payment has been validated, you&rsquo;ll receive your attestation in French and English (essential for your visa!).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The smartphone app:<\/strong> Download it and log in <strong>before<\/strong> you leave.
