HEALTH AND PRIVATE INSURANCE
PRIVATE INSURANCE
8
For each student, the SERP-Chem
consortium contracts a private medical insurance ensuring in this way
the medical cover of the student.
Unexpected medical expenses are
thus covered during the duration of
the master. It also provides an accident cover and protects you against
some costs arising from civil liabilities (a kind of third-party insurance
which is required in many European
countries). This medical coverage
also applies during periods of travel: it provides assistance if you
loose your passport, tickets or other
travel documents. However, it is not
a comprehensive travel insurance.
The insurance will be provided by
the Global Student Insurance Company, covering the minimum requirements for the health and accident
insurance coverage, stipulated by
the Erasmus Mundus Action 1.
Each student receives an insurance
certificate before the start of the
programme, as well as the general
conditions of the insurance. These
conditions should be read carefully
in order to know for which risks and
health issues the student is covered.
In case medical care has to be reimbursed or when problems arise, the
student will contact personally the
GSI insurance company (contact details can be found on the insurance
certificate). For urgent matters, the
service can be contacted 24h/7days
on the following phone number:
+32 (0)2 541 90 87. In order to be
reimbursed, the student has to send
to the above center the documents
or invoices from medical center.
Think about keeping a photocopy of
the certificate in your wallet.
