PROOF OF HEALTH INSURANCE:  Geoff Bradshaw, International Programs Coordinator, sent the following information to us regarding proof of health insurance.  Please contact him if you have questions concerning what this entails.  "Proof of insurance will need to show that coverage applies out of the country including hospitalization, emergency evacuation to USA, repatriation of remains, and regular illness coverage. You can either bring in the policy statement page that lists this coverage or include a signed letter from your insurance provider on insurance company letterhead. "
