Proof of International insurance for International Projects

If your project takes you abroad, you will need to make sure you maintain your personal medical insurance for the duration of your time abroad. 

Stanford University provides insurance for unforeseen medical and security incidents that travelers may encounter while abroad. This insurance, via Zurich, is provided at no cost to the traveler on Stanford-sponsored or Stanford-organized travel. This policy does not have deductibles or copays, but there may be circumstances in which travelers will be expected to pay for medical care out of pocket and seek reimbursement. Travelers can access this coverage through calling Crisis24 +1 (443) 716-2305. The Zurich policy does not cover preventative or routine care and there are exclusions. We advise travelers to familiarize themselves with the policy prior to travel.

If you do not call Crisis24 for assistance, you will be expected to pay for any treatment you receive. You should retain all receipts and documentation of care in order to file a claim with Zurich.

Travelers should contact their personal medical insurance provider to understand their international medical coverage for exclusions under the Zurich policy and are required to maintain coverage for the duration of their time abroad. If a traveler is seeking routine or preventative medical treatment abroad, they will be expected to pay for these services and seek reimbursement from their personal medical insurance provider.
