What is the best company to get travel medical insurance through?
I am going to France through a study abroad program through my college. In order to apply for a visa, I need a letter from my medical insurance company stating that I will be covered in France, but I think it would be faster to get coverage through an international travel insurer. I’m racing against the clock. I’m searching on the web, but I have no idea what I’m doing really. . What companies are most reputable?

Tourists go through Travel Guard and similar companies (check http://www.insuremytrip.com to compare plans) but as a student I don’t think you are responsible for getting your own insurance. The study abroad program should have you covered through their insurance. Have you asked them?
Otherwise it doesn’t take long for your insurance company to confirm that you are covered abroad if that is the case, they can fax you the letter. Just call them and ask them to.
