In general the answer would be yes. However, if the traveler is leaving Boone on 2/15/2014 to go to the airport but the flight does not leave until 2/16/14, then the start date on the insurance form should be 2/16/2014. The International Travel Insurance Plan is only in effect while the traveler is abroad.

The end date for the insurance is the date the traveler is returning to the United States, not necessarily the day he or she is returning to Boone. If the traveler is returning to the U.S. on 2/23/14 and landing in California to attend a conference for 4 days the travel authorization should have an end date of 2/27/2014 to cover the person for the entire time he or she is gone. However, the end date for the insurance will be 2/23/2014, since that is when the person is returning to the U.S.
