  There should be continuity between your FB-provided health insurance and your university-provided health insurance. I wouldn't worry about it, but if you are worried, by all means ask your recruiter.

  I would suggest double checking the fine print for your university-provided insurance for the period between school ending and your internship starting. And coverage limits -- a hospital stay can get very expensive here. Also check if your insurance requires you to call them for "pre-approval" in order for treatment to be covered. If your university is outside of the US (say, Canada), then you may also want to check whether your university provides travel health insurance, or recommends a provider that will sell it to you.

  This makes me think of an interesting point around the potential virus outbreak in the US. If there is a non-trivial outbreak, then could it effectively be (for the US), not just a mass virus management exercise - but be followed by a mass-bankrupting due to medical expenses (which are already a big deal just for "normal" life events)
