On the right side, under Product, click "View Policy" to see the plan terms: this (somewhat dense) language tells you exactly what you're buying. You can get details at the link "Click here to view the policy certificate." First, verify your eligibility: some policies have age restrictions (over 15, for example); others restrict the distance of the travel destination from the traveler's home (more than 100 miles away, for example). Second, verify that your medical coverage is at least $10,000 with a low deductible. When you are satisfied with the plan you have selected, you can move on to purchase it.

Fill in all the necessary information and pay by credit card. Your insurance information will be emailed to you. You'll now be able to submit the policy information with your Mathcamp registration.

First, verify your eligibility; then look at exactly what costs the plan will cover. Most policies will make you pay the first $250 of any medical expenses yourself ("deductible"). They will then pay 80% of the first $5000, and 100% beyond that, up to a maximum of $50,000. For a few extra dollars, you can decrease the deductible to $100 or $0 by checking a box at the bottom of the "Buy Plan" page. (This is optional, but recommended.) You can select "None" for the travel suppliers: you are purchasing medical coverage, not trip cancelation insurance. When you are satisfied with your choice of plan, click on "Buy this plan."
