Your school and host country will often require students to purchase a plan that includes a minimum amount of medical coverage for accidents or illnesses
Emergency Medical Evacuation
Coverage for an emergency medical evacuation to the nearest qualified medical facility, expenses for transportation resulting from evacuation, and the cost of returning the student to either their home country or the country where the evacuation occurred
Repatriation and Return of Mortal Remains
In the unfortunate event that a student dies as a result of a covered illness or injury while outside of their home country, this benefit can cover expenses for transporting the remains back home.
Factors that Determine Cost

Age of the Student
Age is the primary determining factor for price. Insurance companies often change different amounts for different age group., with the price increasing for older age groups.
