The insurance must cover medical care and admittance to a hospital, paying the hospitals immediately upon use of the insurance. Insurance will not be accepted if it works under the reimbursement system (when the student must pay first and then apply for the insurance to provide reimbursement), because there have been situations where the hospital refused to care for students because the insurance would not advance the amount and the student was not in a financial position to make the payment.
