Hi Folks, I am required to arrange for some health insurance for myself before my course starts in a month in Prague.

Does anybody have a suggestion on short term health insurance for travel in Europe? I can't add coverage from my current provider, as it would require me giving up my current "student" status, thus losing the coverage from my parent's insurance all together.

So, does anyone know of a good short term provider for overseas insurance?

Look into general travel insurance. Many providers include medical, have it as an available option or separate service.

What company would be most well-known or reliable for that kind of coverage?

also, make sure you won't be stranded if your airline goes bust while you're in Prague [Wink]
