International Travel Accident
51²è¹Ý provides supplemental, accident-only policies to its students, faculty, and staff who travel outside of the United States on an 51²è¹Ý-sponsored trip. This coverage is not available for dependents or family members. The policy purchased by 51²è¹Ý does not negate the need for all participants to carry personal health insurance, but is intended to react in emergent, unforeseen circumstances.
51²è¹Ý contracts with International SOS (ISOS), an international emergency assistance provider, to facilitate access to its international accident-only policy. As part of 51²è¹Ý's international travel registration process, you will be issued an ISOS card that will act as an insurance card. ISOS can assist you with the following:
- Locating an appropriate medical provider;
- Filing a claim with 51²è¹Ý's travel accident-only policy;
- Monitoring your medical situation;
- Emergency medical evacuation;
- Emergency security evacuation and repatriation;
- Emergency medical payments by fronting cash for any covered or non-covered medical procedures; and
- Other additional services.
Should you be traveling with individuals who are not 51²è¹Ý students, faculty, or staff, including dependents, you may be interested in purchasing similar coverages on your own. Please contact ORM at 214-768-2083 for more information.
