Travel Insurance for Students Patients
Affordable insurance for college students: health cover, travel insurance for study abroad, and personal accident plans at student-friendly premiums.
Having Students doesn't mean you can't get Travel Insurance. IRDAI guidelines ensure that insurance companies cannot outright reject your application based on a pre-existing condition. However, there are important considerations:
- Waiting Period: Pre-existing conditions like Students typically have a 24-48 month waiting period before coverage begins
- Premium Loading: Some insurers may charge 10-30% extra premium based on your condition severity
- Day 1 PED Cover: Select plans now offer coverage from Day 1 — no waiting period for pre-existing conditions
- Mandatory Disclosure: Always declare Students — non-disclosure can lead to claim rejection
