Insurance Coverage

You are responsible for securing any supplemental insurance coverage you desire  for your time abroad. It should be noted that Yale University Health Services provides only limited coverage outside of Connecticut.

Travelers on Yale-related business (including students traveling on study abroad programs, doing research, attending conferences, or student organization travel) now have coverage through International SOS Global Travel Assistance Program for up to $250,000 in out-of-country medical expenses for treatment of accidents or sicknesses that occur while traveling. This coverage includes fourteen days of personal travel deviation. If a traveler extends their trip, either before or after the Yale business component of the trip, this coverage will still apply up to a maximum of fourteen days.  For more information, visit Yale's International SOS Travel Assistance website and scroll down to the section labeled “Out-of-Country Medical Care Coverage.” Please note that this coverage does not apply if the traveler is traveling to his/her country of citizenship.

Yale University provides ISOS Travel Assistance at no cost to all current students. ISOS provides international and domestic emergency medical, security, and travel assistance services anywhere in the world.
