International Travel Medical Insurance

As per UVU’s Policies regarding International Travel  (142, 251, & 252, ), all UVU faculty, staff and students who travel internationally on university business are required to enroll in GeoBlue Travel Insurance. All non-UVU personnel on UVU-sponsored international programs are also required to enroll in GeoBlue.

UVU personnel participating in non-UVU-sponsored international activities should consult with the sponsoring institution/organization about acquiring international insurance. Many institutions require enrollment in their plan. 

Campus policy requires all faculty, staff, and students purchase international insurance from UVU's insurance provider, even if they have their own insurance or the program they travel on provides insurance.

The cost for travel insurance is $20/week, per person. If your travel is three months or longer, the cost is $65/month, per person. 

GeoBlue Worldwide Insurance covers the following:

• Up to $100,000 in medical coverage, including emergency and InstaCare, as well as prescriptions.
