cedricyu803 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Hi folks, hope I am not repeating any previous posts I am from Hong Kong and will attend a PhD program starting this fall in New York City. My PhD funding package includes a medical insurance which starts on 20 Aug. But I am planning to arrive at NYC a few days earlier. In this case, should I purchase a travel insurance from my home city, or instead a short-term US medical insurance? For the latter case, do you guys have any recommendation of which company to go for? Thanks a lot~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeruK Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I would go with travel insurance because it's a lot easier to set up, but that's just for convenience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbttcher Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Same as TakeruK. I would go with the travel insurance. It's significantly less work to set up than short term insurance in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
