Although your UT-sponsored health plan extends to cover you during international travel, many countries may have difficulty processing your health plan ID card and often require payment at the time of service. It is important to plan ahead to make sure you will have access to the best possible treatment options and proof of payment in the event that you need health care abroad. To assist you in this, UT System administration has a contract with On Call International to provide emergency medical, security and travel assistance and evacuation services to all UT institutions.

On Call International is not a form of medical insurance coverage, but they will coordinate with care providers abroad and your insurance to help you find the right providers.  On Call International is the 24/7 emergency assistance provider as well as the claims administrator for all benefits included in the On Call program.  All 24/7 services, benefits, and claims are managed by On Call International.

On Call International can offer advice, connect you with resources, and work with you to make sure you receive the care and support you need both before and during University sponsored international travel.
