Once I send my application and payment, will I get anything back to confirm I have insurance?

  • Upon enrollment, you will be sent an insurance ID card, policy booklet, and claim form(s). These insurance materials will be mailed to your U.S. address when applicable. If you enroll online, your materials will be e-mailed to the address indicated on the application.

How long does it take for you to process my insurance application?

  • Once we receive your completed application and payment, your insurance enrollment should be processed within five business days. Online enrollments will be processed instantly.

When can my insurance begin?

  • Complete application and payment should be received prior to the departure date of the exchange in order for insurance to begin that day. Otherwise, insurance will begin upon receipt of the complete application and payment in our office. All students inbound to the U.S. have 31 days from their arrival to apply for insurance, at which time coverage will be back-dated to their original departure date from their home country, or else upon receipt of the application in our office.

What is the fastest way to enroll?

  • The fastest way to enroll is online. A credit card payment is required. Insurance materials are e-mailed back to the participant instantly. CISI-Bolduc encourages students inbound to the U.S. to contact their credit card company or bank prior to purchasing the insurance via credit card due to a heightened risk of international credit card fraud. Such security measures mean that some unusual transactions may be denied.

How can I pay for the insurance?

  • Insurance payment is due in full at the time of enrollment.
  • U.S. checks, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, U.S. money orders, and wire transfers (if necessary) are acceptable. Foreign checks cannot be processed; however, international bank checks drawn from U.S. banks in U.S. dollars are acceptable.

What are the differences between Plan A and Plan B?

  • The most important difference is that Plan B goes to 100% payment of usual and customary charges up to the $500,000 USD maximum once the student pays a one-time $100 USD deductible and 20% of the first $2,500 USD of medical expenses (out of pocket limited to $600 USD). Plan A goes to 80% payment of usual and customary charges up to the $500,000 USD maximum once the student pays a one-time $100 USD deductible. This means the student and his/her family is responsible for 20% of expenses up to $500,000 USD. We recommend participants purchase Plan A only if they have a supplemental policy that will pay the difference.
