InterGlobal Launches new International Students Plans
28 Jul 2009
International private medical insurer InterGlobal has launched two new international private medical insurance (PMI) plans, designed to provide comprehensive protection to students studying abroad from under £40 a month.
The new plans are available either as individual or group schemes. They include cover for inpatient, day care and outpatient medical treatment in the country where the student is studying. The standard plan also provides access to emergency dental treatment, family assistance, emergency medical evacuation and red24 security assistance, while the International Students Plus plan provides maternity care, cover against loss of tuition fees and coverage for personal belongings.
Stephen Hartigan, chief executive of InterGlobal, said: "We've designed these plans specifically to meet the needs of students studying abroad - which means we have been able to provide a comprehensive level of cover at a very reasonable cost. As the vast majority of students only study in a single overseas country - we have managed the cost of cover by simply providing protection in the country where they're studying."
