INTERNATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE
All students participating in the Madrid program are covered by both Mapfre and AXA/EuropAssist international insurance. Mapfre is a local Spanish insurance provider and is the most well-known and widely used insurance amongst Spanish citizens. Students will use Mapfre as their primary insurance (doctor visits, prescriptions, lab tests, specialists, etc.). For a list of physicians in the Madrid area who accept Mapfre insurance, please contact Program Manager, Lupe Burgos, at lburgos@sandiego.edu. Students will also receive instructions on how to use this insurance at the orientation in Madrid. There is no out-of-pocket fees upon the receipt of care.
Additionally, students going to Madrid will be covered by AXA/EuropAssist international insurance. This insurance is used in cases where Mapfre may not provide coverage. In cases of non-emergencies, this insurance functions through reimbursement and students are encouraged to save all receipts for reconciling expenses upon return to the US. In cases of medical emergencies, the students will not need to pay for expenses up front; AXA/EuropAssist works directly with the on-site hospital to ensure a guarantee of payment is made to the hospital. AXA/EuropAssist also covers emergency/medical evacuation and repatriation.
Students must not drop their US insurance while on study abroad.
ADDITIONAL ESTIMATED EXPENSES
The following budget items are for student planning purposes only, as they are estimates of additional expenses. Actual costs vary greatly depending on the individual student:
Travel insurance (strongly recommended): This will cover the cost of your flight in the event of an emergency (needing to cancel at the last minute or return home earlier than expected). The price will vary based on the overall cost of your airline ticket. Contact your travel agent or Ken Darrow at Universal Travel (858-456-7887) to learn more about this coverage and approximate costs.
*Students are required to appear in person at the Spanish Consulate General if they do not participate in the Batch Visa appointment. Students will deal with the Consulate that has jurisdiction over their permanent residence. Depending on the student's proximity to the Consulate General, it is possible the student will incur considerable travel expenses in pursuit of her/his student visa. All students are able to appear at the Los Angeles Spanish Consulate General because USD may count as a permanent address.
