No. Insurance coverage varies by your nationality and what your country provides. You will be required to show proof of medical insurance before you begin our program.
Go Inspired requires all participants to secure medical insurance (depending on participant country) which covers Participant while abroad for the duration of the Program. Participant may already be covered by a medical insurance policy. If this is the case, please check the insurance policy to ensure it includes overseas coverage. If Participant does not currently have medical insurance, a good option is to obtain travel/trip cancellation insurance that includes medical coverage.

If Participant has a pre-existing or current medical condition and/or allergies, Participant must advise Go Inspired in writing.
