The University of Missouri System provides two types of insurance coverage for faculty and staff who travel internationally for university purposes. This insurance coverage is provided at no cost to the traveler or university department. AIG coverage includes travel accident and sickness benefits. UHC Global coverage includes evacuation and transportation services. Faculty and staff who will be traveling internationally may contact Amy Smith, 341-6875 in international and cultural affairs to receive details of the coverage, identification card and emergency contact information.

All faculty and staff traveling internationally are also strongly encouraged to register in the U.S. Department of State’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) prior to each trip. Enrollment in the STEP program provides travelers the most current information about the country where you will be traveling, updates including travel warnings and travel alerts, and resources should you need assistance during your travels.
