Youhou j asked:
Do you have to have health insurance BEFORE entering and if you take their insurance for the Peace Corps, when does coverage begin?
So when am I covered? Will I be covered as soon as I am accepted or as soon as I step foot onto foreign soil?

I KIND OF THOUGHT THAT “MEDICAL TREATMENT” WAS PART OF THE “BENEFITS PACKAGE” WHICH OUR “UNCLE SAMMY” PROVIDED WITH PEACE CORP SERVICE!!!SEE: Peace Corps

Peace Corps requires a physical exam and medical clearances before they accept you in the Peace Corps. As a volunteer, all medical treatments and checkups are provided by Peace Corps so no health insurance is required.. threre is a cobra that kicks in when you leave Peace Corps that covers during any extended travel time when returning to the states and to cover the gap until you get a job.
