U.S. Department of State

Medical Information (31kb, PDF) for Student Interns: The State Department provides medical facilities for outpatient services at a limited number of posts. For more critical and life threatening injuries, it is important to understand the need for emergency medical evacuation coverage, as the cost of evacuation can be very high. Medical evacuation is needed in areas where proper medical treatment may not be available. In addition, many of the medical facilities abroad may not recognize any type of American health care plan. Therefore, it is important to understand the possible need for, or access to, funds for medical payment up front. Your insurance provider will process the claim and reimburse you.

As an intern, you have the choice of medical insurance you select. Please note that there are particular coverage requirements that must be met which are listed on the attached form. Please take the time to choose your coverage carefully and provide us with the required information on the attached form, including date and signature.
