What type
of insurance is included in the tuition?
All
Student Ambassadors are covered by a basic group insurance plan that helps
offset costs if a major injury is incurred during travel. This insurance is
included in the program tuition and helps cover the cost of emergency
evacuations and hospitalization, and is primary during travel. BerkelyCare
administers the Student Ambassador insurance plans. Families will receive
complete information on the insurance coverage options in a tuition statement.
Can you
explain the People to People Delegate Protection Plan (optional insurance)?
The Delegate Protection Plan is an additional insurance option that provides
additional medical coverage to the standard group plan; this coverage is primary
during travel. The Protection Plan also covers lost luggage and lost property,
along with trip delays, interruptions, or cancellations. In addition, the
Protection Plan protects families from the fees incurred if a student must
withdraw prior to departure due to illness, injury, or the loss of a family
member.
The cost of the plan is $245. Student Ambassadors are automatically registered
for this additional insurance upon enrollment; coverage may be declined up to
120 days before departure. Complete details on the Delegate Protection Plan will
be included in an upcoming tuition statement.
Can you
explain the People to People Leader insurance?
A
Medical Protection Plan is provided at no extra charge for all delegates,
leaders, coaches, and athletic directors who are U.S. and Canadian residents.
The Medical Protection Plan covers sickness and accident expense coverage
related to the program (ambulance, hospital stay, dental, and prescription
drugs). The baggage delay and baggage loss plan covers baggage delay and loss
reimbursement (when bag is delayed more than 24 hours).
Is there an
optional leader insurance that covers more?
Yes,
optional coverage may be purchased by leaders, coaches, and athletic directors
who are residents of the U.S. or Canada. The optional insurance covers the post
departure part of your program. The Post-Departure Travel Protection Plan
provides additional sickness and accident coverage, as well as additional
baggage delay or loss coverage. You can view the details of the plan
here. The
cost is $40 and must be specifically requested by completing and returning the
registration form located on your leader site.
