Study Abroad from Raipur: Mandatory Travel Insurance for University

MED
MDNetwork Education DeskStudent Insurance Specialist

Getting your admission letter from a university in New York, London, or Melbourne is a proud moment for any Raipur student. But once you start the visa process, you'll encounter a big hurdle: the mandatory health insurance requirement.

Why Your University's Insurance Might Be a Bad Deal

Many universities abroad automatically enroll you in their own health plans, which can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $4,000 per year. TATA AIG's Student Guard provides similar or even better coverage at a fraction of that cost, payable in Indian Rupees right here in Raipur.

The 'Waiver' Secret

Most universities allow you to 'waive' their expensive insurance if you can prove you have a comparable plan from India. At MDNetwork, we ensure your TATA AIG policy meets the exact criteria (like coverage for mental health, sports injuries, and medical evacuation) required by your specific university.

Student Special Benefits:

  • ✓ Coverage for Compassionate Visit (parents flying to you if you are ill).
  • ✓ Study Interruption Cover (reimbursement of fees if you can't finish the semester).
  • ✓ 2-Year Policy Option (no need to renew every few months).
