International SOS Insurance for Travelers on University Business
All employees and students traveling abroad on university business or programs now have access to worldwide assistance and evacuation services through International SOS. This includes employees and students who are already overseas on university programs. The coverage is fully funded by UT System for employees and students traveling on university business.

SOS program services include 24-hour access to International SOS physicians for emergency or routine medical advice, emergency medical and security evacuations, lost document assistance, and access to country-specific medical and security information (see complete list of services below). This is not medical insurance.

Enrollment
It is not necessary to enroll to activate the program services. However, it is a good idea for all international travelers to create a Personal Travel Record and an Emergency Contact Record online at

http://www.internationalsos.com/en/index.htm?CFID=1772402&CFTOKEN=96325773.

To access these forms, you will need the UT System membership number to enter into the space provided on the Web page. Travelers also can print the UT System membership card from the Web site. The card contains 24-hour emergency numbers and the UT System membership number. Please call 713-500-8405 for the membership number.

Very helpful online Country Guides, providing valuable medical, security and cultural information for travelers, are available on the Web, as well.

We are pleased to offer worldwide assistance and evacuation services to our faculty, staff and students traveling abroad as university representatives. International SOS is a leader in this area and we believe their services will be a valuable addition to your international travel contingency plans.
Please contact Diane Collard, (713) 500-8405, for further details on the program.
