Insurance for Faculty Traveling Abroad

Some domestic health insurance policies may provide coverage during international travel. Check your current health insurance policy to verify what type of coverage it provides and if it will cover you for the duration of your program abroad.

If your current policy provides coverage, it may only cover accident or illness expenses outside of the U.S. We recommend both students and faculty get coverage for medical evacuation, which pays for the expenses to send the patient to a medical facility or back to the U.S. for medical treatment, and repatriation, which covers the expenses to return an individual’s remains to their home country in the event of death.

Personal Accident Insurance through Indiana University's Benefit Plans. This is an optional benefit with additional cost. It is not a part of the regular medical insurance plan. If you aren't already enrolled in personal accident insurance, then you can't add it until the next open enrollment period.
