• Your coverage will begin the same day as group flight departure from the US and is valid for six months (semester abroad students) or a year (year abroad students). If you are traveling prior to the rest of the group, please purchase supplemental insurance coverage. 
• This will entitle you to free or subsidized treatment at the on-campus facilities at your university and/or other general practitioners. A set value of your personal effects are also covered under this policy. Please visit your host university’s website to view the policy details.
• You will receive your insurance documents from the International Office staff during your Orientation Week upon arrival at your New Zealand University.
• You are covered for a maximum of 31 days for temporary visits to Australia and the Islands of the South West Pacific and return during the Period of Insurance. If you are unsure if your travel destination is included in your coverage, please contact your insurance provider.
• Please note: You should have health coverage for any time you plan to travel outside New Zealand before, during and/or after the program. YOUR OVERSEAS STUDENT HEALTH COVERAGE IS ONLY VALID FOR THE TIME YOU ARE IN NEW ZEALAND.
• Pre-existing conditions: You cannot claim for any costs associated with any ailment, illness, disability or condition (or secondary condition related to this ailment, illness, disability or condition) that you suffered from at any time before you came to New Zealand. If you have a pre-existing condition, it is in your best interest to continue your U.S. insurance during your semester in New Zealand. Check with your current insurer to determine how you will be covered while abroad.
