INSURANCE BASICS

While you are in the United States, you are insured by ISO Insurance under the Silver plan. This means that the ISO insurance company helps you cover the cost of doctor visits and emergency care. You will need to present your ISO insurance card at all doctor’s appointments and hospital visits. This a basic medical insurance. Your insurance card will be emailed to you before the start of the in-person module in Washington, DC.

The following are not covered by your insurance: routine check-ups, dental care (except as caused by an injury), sports injuries, medical issues resulting from abuse of alcohol or drugs, and eye doctor appointments.

U.S. residents are not covered by this policy.

FINDING A DOCTOR OR URGENT CARE PROVIDER

For minor injuries or acute illnesses that are not emergencies, you may wish to visit an urgent care clinic. Some urgent care clinics do not require appointments, but it is helpful to make an appointment wherever possible. (See the documents below for nearby urgent care clinics.)

To find a doctor or urgent care clinic, go to www.myfirsthealth.com and select “Provider Lookup.” Many of the physicians at Georgetown’s Pasquerilla Healthcare Center are part of the ISO network. You may see a doctor outside of the network, but this will likely be more expensive.
