The compassionate care you gave me in the handling of my need, in my hour of need, was exemplary! We never felt like we were merely a case number — we felt the sincerity of your heartfelt response, as I shared my heart with you, both by phone and by e-mail correspondence.

Thanks for all the help and continued support you have provided. Although one hopes never to use travel insurance, you were a god-send throughout our ordeal. We couldn’t have done it without your continued assistance. Thanks again for everything.

I was unlucky enough to fall ill while abroad & filed two claims with IMG; I was quite pleased at how easy and straight-forward this process was. My claims were processed quickly and without loads of red-tape. The representatives I spoke with were polite and helpful, as well.

A working example of using Student Health Advantage insurance*

Let us take an example: The medical bill is $25,000, Deductible is $250 and choosen Policy Maximum is $300,000
  • Insurance coverage is $300,000
  • Deductible is $250 per certificate period
  • Co-Insurance : Out of PPO network if within U.S. - 80% of the first $5,000 of the eligible charges, then 100%.
  • Total medical expenses is $25,000
The insured must pay the deductible ($100) before the insurance plan pays anything. Since the policy maximum coverage is $300,000 and the total amount billed is $25,000, the policy will pay 80% of first $5,000 then 100% up to the policy limit ($300,000). In this case the insured expense after the deductible is 20% of first $5,000, which is $1,000. Thus your final expense is $1,000 while the insurance company will cover the remaining $24,000.

Expense Amount billed Amount Insurance Pays Amount Insured Owes
Hospital Room Rent $9,000 $8,000 $1,000(20% of first $5,000)
Surgery $15,000 $15,000 $0
X Ray $1,000 $1,000 $0
Total $25,000 $24,000 $1,000
