Policies maintained by the student's family may include overseas coverage for individual members. With the issuance of the International Student Identity Card, a student automatically acquires an insurance policy but of limited benefits. A student is expected to become acquainted with the details of whatever policies are in effect or obtained for the months abroad. If medical services are needed in a foreign country, the fee is usually paid by the student on site. The student is later reimbursed in the U.S. by submitting the receipt for the expenditure to the insurance company.
Policies vary, however.
