UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA (UC)
Employee Travel Insurance
(Effective June 1, 2024 – May 30, 2025)
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
This FAQ is relevant to UC employees included as Class 2* Insureds in the Employee Business Travel
Insurance Policy (N04223810) with ACE American Insurance, a division of Chubb Insurance. If you
have questions about benefits for other Classes of Eligible Insureds contact your
campus Travel Risk
Manager.
Chubb = The insurance company providing the UC’s Travel Insurance policies.
Chubb-AXA Global Travel Assistance = a.k.a. AXA Assistance, the company Chubb
contracts with to provide travel assistance services worldwide. For contact information, go
to the UC Travel Assistance web page or scroll down to question 10.
Crisis24 = The company UC contracts with to provide travel intelligence and security
evacuation services worldwide.
1. Are all UC employees covered?
UC employees are covered when traveling up to 364 days on approved UC business. UC employees
include faculty and staff members, paid interns, medical residents, paid fellows, and all staff engaged
in emergency medical programs.
2. When does coverage start and end?
Generally, coverage is defined by your travel dates. Coverage begins when your trip begins
and ends when your trip ends. However, if you are combining personal travel with your UC-
business travel, your coverage may end before your trip ends. You are allowed 14 days of
‘personal deviation’ for domestic and international trips. The personal deviation is an
accumulated amount, so if you spend 3 days in Paris before traveling to Lyon for a UC-
sponsored program, then you go to Germany the first weekend and Italy the next weekend,
after the 3-week program ends you will have 7 additional days of coverage. If you are
traveling internationally and plan to do more personal travel than 14 days, you can purchase
UC Personal Travel Insurance.
Also, you will no longer be eligible for benefits after 364 days on a trip. If you will be on a trip longer
than this, there may be a better type of coverage that will fit your circumstances. Check with your
health insurance provider to see if they offer global medical coverage for trips longer than 364 days.
3. How can I get a travel insurance certificate or letter that proves I am covered during my trip?
There are 2 important things for you to know about this:
1. Having a travel insurance certificate doesn’t guarantee that you are covered. It declares that
the University of California has the specified travel insurance policy, and describes some basic
benefits and limits, including coverage for COVID-19. Coverage applies if you are traveling
for UC business purposes.
2. To request a certificate of insurance to acquire a visa, demonstrate coverage for COVID-19, or
meet entry requirements, please send the following information to [email protected]:
2
• Name (as appears on passport)
• Affiliation with UC (student, employee, etc.)
• Date of birth
• Travel destination (country or countries for which you require an insurance certificate)
• Dates of travel for each destination for which you require an insurance certificate.
Please allow 3-5 business days for your insurance certificate request to be processed. You will receive
it as a PDF document attached to an email. This information can be found on the UCOP Risk Services
website at https://www.ucop.edu/risk-services-travel/insurance-certificate.html.
4. What if I have to cancel my trip because I get COVID or for another reason?
Injury or sickness (including COVID) that prevents you from taking a trip must be so disabling as to
reasonably cause a trip to be cancelled. A doctor’s diagnosis and recommendation not to travel would
need to be submitted when filing a claim.
There are other unforeseen circumstances for cancelling a trip that are covered:
• Any serious injury or unforeseen medical condition that makes your travel companion unfit
for travel (by order of licensed physician).
• Injury or sickness of your family member when the condition is life threatening, or the family
member requires your care.
• The death of your traveling companion, or the death of a non-traveling family member (when
the death occurs within 30 days of your scheduled departure date).
• Strike or severe weather that results in the complete cessation of travel services.
• A terrorist incident at the destination where you are scheduled to arrive within 45 days
following the incident.
• A legal obligation such as jury duty or being served with a court order or subpoena.
• Unforeseen natural disasters at home or at the destination that make them uninhabitable.
5. Is my spouse, child, or other traveling companion covered under my employee travel
insurance?
Coverage may apply to an employee’s traveling companion(s) who are on the same travel
itinerary. This might be a spouse, child, or other companion. A group or tour leader is not
considered a traveling companion, unless a covered employee is sharing a room with the
group/tour leader. Matching flight itineraries should be submitted with any claims for traveling
companions.
Also, other classes of Insureds may include non-employees. See Classes of Eligible Insureds or
contact your campus Travel Risk Manager for more information.
If you have someone joining you for part of your trip, but not traveling on the same itinerary,
they can purchase travel insurance through the UC Personal Travel Insurance Program.
6. Is there coverage if my luggage is delayed or lost?
There is a Baggage Delay benefit if your checked luggage is delayed from arriving at your
scheduled destination for more than 6 hours. You may purchase up to $500 of essential items
within 24 hours of your arrival or until the luggage is returned, whichever is sooner. You must
provide proof of the delay and submit receipts for all items for which you request
3
reimbursement.
There is a Lost Baggage benefit for checked baggage, but you have to go through the airline’s
protocols first. The airline will open a case in their lost baggage system when you report your
lost baggage to them. They will consider it to be ‘delayed’ for 2 – 3 weeks. After that time,
you will typically be able to submit a claim to the airline for reimbursement of the value of
your lost items.
The travel insurance policy will only apply to amounts not reimbursed by the airline.
Additionally, there will be a $25 deductible that will be applied to any amount Chubb
determines you are eligible for. The payment is based upon the depreciated value of the lost
items, not the full cost of replacement. To maximize your payment, submit the original
purchase receipts of as many items as you can. This will establish the purchase date and
original value to which the depreciation formula will be applied. If no receipts are provided,
the insurance company will use conservative estimates in the formula.
The maximum payable for lost luggage is: $1,000 value per bag, maximum 2 bags.
7. What do I do if I need medical care abroad?
There are several ways you can access medical care abroad:
• Go to any clinic or hospital, pay for care, and submit a claim for reimbursement consideration.
• Use one of the tools provided to find referrals depending on your condition:
o Crisis24’s Worldcue® Mobile app - Access this tool by following instructions provided in
the email Crisis24 sent when you registered your travel.
o AXA’s Travel Eye web portal or mobile app – follow the Travel Eye link to set up an
account username and password, then use that to login to either the web portal or the mobile
app, which can be downloaded from the Apple Store or Google Play.
• Call or email Chubb-AXA Global Travel Assistance and request referrals or assistance in setting
up an appointment. Go to Item 9 or the Travel Assistance web page for contact information.
Both apps link to AXA’s database of vetted medical providers across the globe. AXA also has a
teleconsultation partner called ‘Doctor Please!’ that they can refer you to for minor medical needs.
AXA can arrange for translation services, if needed, and monitor your ongoing treatment to make sure
you receive the proper medical care. If you are admitted to a hospital, they may be able to issue a
Guarantee of Payment (GOP) for treatment, saving you from having to pay for medical expenses out
of pocket. AXA can communicate directly with your local attending doctors in virtually any language
and will facilitate communication with the local clinic, your family, and UC if you authorize them to
share case updates.
8. What do I do if I test positive for COVID while abroad?
If you are abroad and test positive for COVID, review the local health authority website to determine
what their requirements are if you test positive. This varies widely across the globe and the rules can
change without notice. The quarantine benefit of the travel insurance policy may depend on the local
government requirements.
If you tested positive using an unsupervised, off-the-shelf test you will need to get another test that
will provide you with a document that includes your name, the test date, and the test result. It doesn’t
matter what type of test it is (PCR or antigen). You just need to have a document that you can submit
with your insurance claim as evidence of your diagnosis.
Only expenses that are supplemental to your planned travel expenses are eligible for reimbursement
4
under the quarantine benefit. Save all receipts of such expenses, which may include grocery or
restaurant food delivery charges. Since you would have to eat anyway, the actual food charges may
not be reimbursed unless you can show that you already paid for meals as part of a conference
registration fee, for example. Then the supplemental food would likely be considered eligible for
reimbursement. Submit a conference schedule that shows which meals were included with the fee you
paid to substantiate the additional meal charges. Lodging is the same. If you booked a single room and
can isolate there, then do not submit the cost for reimbursement consideration. However, if you were
rooming with someone who is not COVID+ and need to stay in a separate room, then the additional
expense would be considered for reimbursement. Save all receipts and submit your claim using these
guidelines for Chubb’s claim portal.
9. What if I’m in emotional distress and want to speak to a therapist?
If you are abroad and in acute emotional distress, call Chubb-AXA Global Travel Assistance. If you
meet the criteria for crisis support, they will transfer you immediately to an English-speaking
therapist. If you would prefer to wait to speak to a therapist in person, you can search for
psychologists in AXA’s medical provider database using either the Travel Eye or Worldcue® Mobile
app or ask Chubb-AXA Global Travel Assistance for a referral to someone in your area.
If you have an Anthem health insurance policy, you may also be able to access a virtual therapist
using LiveHealth Online or another teleconsultation provider. Refer to your policy brochure or
contact Member Services.
10. How do I contact Chubb-AXA Global Travel Assistance?
For immediate assistance call using one of the numbers below. You can also request assistance via
email, but it may take up to 24 hours before you receive a response.
Inside US: +1-855-327-1420
Outside US: +1-630-694-9804
Email at: MedAssist-USA@AXA-Assistance.us
11. What should I expect when I call Chubb-AXA Global Travel Assistance?
When you call Chubb-AXA Global Travel Assistance, you will first be presented with an interactive
voice response system that will ask you to indicate whether you are:
a) A current UCEAP participant – Press 1
b) A registered UC student (other than UCEAP participants) – Press 2
c) A UC employee – Press 3
d) All others – Press 4
Please press 3. Then you will be patched through to an AXA representative, who will confirm your
affiliation with UC to determine which of the UC travel insurance policies you may be covered under.
After confirming the appropriate policy number, the Representative will ask you for your name and
other details including: UC campus, campus email address, birthdate, country and city you are in,
hospital name, if applicable, and whether you will allow AXA to share medical information with UC
(this is the only way UC staff can intervene with AXA on your behalf to help you get the services you
need). They may also ask you what your medical condition or symptoms are.
Next, they will ask how they can help. It is important to be clear with them. If you are not fluent in the
local language, you may want to ask them to set up a doctor’s appointment for you instead of just
passing along contact information for doctors in their network. Following are other services they can
provide:
5
• referral to a virtual tele-doc service through the Doctor Please app (the registration code will
be provided)
• transfer to immediate crisis mental health counseling via phone
• referral or appointment assistance for local mental health counseling
• guarantee of payment (GOP) at in-network hospitals for overnight, inpatient treatment
• emergency medication (if country laws allow)
• lost document assistance
• transfer to security provider, Crisis24
• attorney referrals
• translation assistance
Finally, they will assign a case number. Write this down. Every time you call or email them again
about the same issue, start by providing the case number to the AXA Representative (or include in
subject line of email).
For more information about Chubb-AXA Global Travel Assistance go to the Travel Assistance web page.
12. If my cell phone is stolen, can I get reimbursed?
The Personal Property benefit is only available to employees traveling internationally. The Personal
Property benefit covers the theft or loss of personal and university-owned items in your possession
while on your trip, but you must file a police report within 24 hours of the theft/loss for coverage. You
also must show reasonable actions to protect your property, so if you leave them in a cab coverage will
likely not apply.
There is a $25 deductible that will be applied when you submit a claim to Chubb. The payment is
based upon the depreciated value of the lost items, not the full cost of replacement. To maximize your
payment, submit the original purchase receipts of items lost/stolen. This will establish the purchase
date and original value to which the depreciation formula will be applied. If no receipts are provided,
the insurance company will use conservative estimates in the formula.
The maximum benefits under the Personal Property benefit include: $2,500 value for any one article
or set of articles and $500 for stolen cash with a total benefit maximum per trip of $5,000.
13. Does the accident/sickness medical expense benefit apply to both domestic (US) and foreign
business travel?
There is no medical expense coverage for a domestic trip. You will need to utilize your health
insurance for a non-work related accident. If you are travelling internationally, the travel insurance is
the primary coverage for both sickness and accidents. Coverage for eligible medical expenses abroad
is $500,000 maximum. Additional benefits are available when you are traveling internationally. If you
have an accident that is related to work while travelling either in the US or abroad, tell your Supervisor
and submit a Worker’s Compensation claim following UC policy.
14. If I am covered by multiple policies, which one do I use?
The employee travel insurance is considered ‘primary’ when you are abroad and pays a maximum of
$500,000 in covered medical expenses per medical condition subject to benefit terms, conditions, and
exclusions. Your personal health insurance is ‘primary’ when you are in the U.S.
15. Is there a deductible or co-pay for accident/sickness medical expense?
There is no deductible or co-pay. However, in most cases you will have to pay out-of-pocket for
6
medical services and then submit a claim later for reimbursement consideration.
16. How does my medical bill get paid?
In most cases, you should pay out-of-pocket for medical services and prescriptions. Then, you can use
Chubb's claim portal to submit receipts and supporting medical documentation for Chubb to consider
reimbursement under the policy.
If you are admitted to a hospital, you can contact Chubb-AXA Global Travel Assistance, to request a
Guarantee of Payment (GOP) for the hospital. Some hospitals may call on your behalf, but others won’t.
Some hospitals refuse to work with foreign assistance companies altogether and a GOP will not be
possible.
Sometimes a medical provider may be willing to bill Chubb directly without a GOP. Contact
information for Chubb Claims can be found on the travel insurance contact card. You still need to fill
out a claim form or create an online claim to confirm you received medical services from the provider.
Then the medical provider sends an invoice and all necessary supporting documentation to Chubb and
Chubb will pay the provider according to policy terms and conditions if the laws of the country where
the services were provided permit it.
Even if the medical provider agrees to bill Chubb directly, you remain responsible for your balance
due until the transaction completes and your medical facility account shows a $0 balance. There may
be medical costs that are not covered by the travel insurance policy, or the amount transferred by the
travel insurance company may not pay off the entire amount because of currency exchange rates and wire
transfer fees. You will have to pay any difference directly to the medical provider. You may be able to submit
claims to your personal health insurance for reimbursement of expenses not covered by the travel insurance.
Rules and conditions may apply.
17. Are there any countries where the travel insurance won’t provide coverage, like countries
deemed to be at a high risk for travel?
Coverage is limited in the U.S., your home country, war risk excluded countries, and any OFAC
excluded countries. Home country is defined as a country where you have your true, fixed and
permanent home and principal establishment or the United States. If you are traveling to your home
country, a war risk excluded country, or an OFAC excluded country contact your campus Tavel Risk
Manager to understand the limitations of the travel insurance while you are there.
War risk coverage is excluded when travel is in the US, your home country, Afghanistan, Belarus,
Gaza, Israel, Lebanon, Russia, Ukraine, West Bank, and Yemen. War risk coverage generally refers to
coverage for losses (loss of life or other injuries) resulting from war-related events. Other medical and
non-medical benefits, including the security evacuation benefit, remain in effect in these countries.
If you travel to a country in which sanctions have been imposed by the U.S. Department of the
Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) to limit travel and doing business, Chubb-AXA
Global Travel Assistance may not be able to pay medical bills on your behalf. You need to be prepared
to pay out-of-pocket for any emergency. Coverage may be limited, but you should file claims for any
medical expenses incurred. Review the Export Control & Compliance International Travel web page
for a list of countries currently under comprehensive OFAC sanctions.
18. What countries are under comprehensive OFAC sanctions, and what do I need to do if I
plan to travel to one of these countries?
Review the Export Control & Compliance International Travel web page to see a list of countries under
comprehensive OFAC sanctions. This list can change. Contact your campus Export Control Office if you
think your destination may be under OFAC sanctions. Keep in mind that you may be required to get a
7
specific license before traveling to countries where there are comprehensive OFAC sanctions, and this
may take up to three months.
UC has obtained a “Specific Educational License” from OFAC, on behalf of the ten campuses to
permit qualified UC students, faculty, and staff to travel to Cuba for educational purposes. The license
is valid systemwide and is renewed annually. If you plan to travel to Cuba contact your campus Export
Control Office for guidance.
Additionally, two of UC’s travel insurance providers require Cuba travelers to complete travel
certification forms and submit them to their campus Travel Risk Manager, with cc: to the campus
• AIG Cuba Travel Certification – AIG Cuba Travel Certification Attachment
• Chubb Cuba Travel Form
19. What countries are excluded from the ‘war risk’ travel insurance benefit, what does this
mean, and what do I do if I plan to travel to one of these countries?
War risk coverage is excluded when travel is in the US, your home country, Afghanistan, Belarus,
Gaza, Israel, Lebanon, Russia, Ukraine, West Bank, and Yemen. War risk coverage generally refers to
coverage for losses (loss of life or other injuries) resulting from war-related events. Other medical and
non-medical benefits, including the security evacuation benefit, remain in effect in these countries.
War-related events are generally described as rocket or mortar attacks or other acts of war. Acts of
terrorism are differentiated from acts of war, and covered losses from acts of terrorism are not excluded
from coverage in war-risk excluded countries. Chubb will make the final determination on how an act is
classified at the time a claim is submitted.
A campus or traveler can ‘buy back’ war risk coverage for a specific trip to a war-risk excluded country.
Write to your Campus Travel Risk Manager to request a price quote. Include your destination, travel
dates, your reason for travel, and the UC project or unit that will finance the purchase of coverage.
Provide at least five business days for negotiation with Chubb.
20. What is security or natural disaster evacuation?
Security evacuation means transporting you from a location where your security is threatened, or your
life or health may be endangered while traveling internationally. Possible scenarios that may warrant
this type of evacuation include civil unrest, military action, earthquake, and flood.
If you feel that your life or health are endangered, start by finding a safe haven if possible, such as the
hotel lobby of an American hotel, then contact Chubb-AXA Global Travel Assistance. Depending on
the specifics of the situation, they may then transfer you to the security company Crisis24. As long as
you are working with the travel insurance company's authorized providers, they will verify that the
security evacuation benefit applies to your situation and bill Chubb directly for expenses they incur in
arranging your transportation and, if applicable, temporary lodging. Keep receipts for any food or
other incidentals you pay out-of-pocket and submit them to Chubb to be considered for
reimbursement.
21. Where will security evacuation take me?
It depends on the nature of the event and the specific circumstances. Most often, you will be transported
home. Depending upon the circumstances, you may first need to be taken to the nearest place of safety,
while arrangements are made for your return to the U.S. There could be some situations, such as a flood,
where it is possible for you to return to your original travel location after being at a safe haven
temporarily. UC, AXA, and Crisis24 will partner to coordinate the response.
8
22. What is emergency medical evacuation and medical repatriation?
Medical Evacuation is transport to the nearest appropriate medical facility for treatment. The mode of
transportation typically would be ground or air ambulance or commercial flight. As long as Chubb-
AXA Global Travel Assistance is coordinating the evacuation, the cost of transportation and medical
services (oxygen, medications, heart monitor, escort services, etc.) provided to you during the
transport would be covered expenses and charged as part of the medical evacuation.
Medical Repatriation is transportation to a hospital near your home or permanent place of residence in
the US when your condition enables you to safely fly, but you require longer-term care or treatment
upon your return.
Chubb-AXA Global Travel Assistance will make all the necessary arrangements including:
• Transportation home by commercial flight or air ambulance, whichever is recommended
• Ground transportation to the aircraft
• Medical services and escorts recommended during transport
• Necessary travel documents including emergency visa, if necessary, customs forms, etc.
• Approval for admission and transfer of medical records to the receiving hospital
23. Can I make the decision to be transported back to the U.S. for medical treatment?
No. AXA’s medical team will assess your medical condition and whether your condition allows you to
be transported safely to the U.S. This is called a Travel Recommendation (TR). They will recommend
the option if the benefits outweigh the risks and when this is considered to be the best option. You may
need to be taken to a local facility first to ensure your condition is fully stabilized before you can be
transported to the U.S. Insurance coverage for the evacuation or repatriation only applies if AXA's
medical team recommends it. If you make your own arrangements for transportation, it may not be
reimbursable, though you can always submit a claim for consideration.
24. What happens to my luggage if I’m evacuated for security or medical reasons?
Effective June 1, 2024, Chubb added a Return of Baggage benefit to all UC travel insurance policies.
This allows for the reimbursement of up to $3,000 per international trip for the return shipment of
luggage following a medical evacuation, security evacuation or repatriation of remains.
25. What if I need emergency medical care and I can’t call Chubb-AXA Global Travel Assistance?
In a life-threatening emergency, you should first call the local emergency response services to receive
immediate medical attention. If you are treated in an emergency room and released, you can pay for
services and submit a claim for reimbursement consideration. If you will be admitted to the hospital,
call Chubb-AXA Global Travel Assistance for a guarantee of payment (GOP) and ongoing monitoring
of your treatment.
26. How do I access medical services, security evacuation and emergency medical evacuation
services?
You obtain these services by calling Chubb-AXA Global Travel Assistance using the number listed on
the insurance contact card that you should have received via email when you booked your travel
through ConnexUC/Connexxus/Concur or registered travel in the UC AWAY system. Chubb partners
with AXA and Crisis24 to provide these specialized services. If you don’t have your contact card
handy, find contact info for Chubb-AXA in Item 9 or go to the Travel Assistance web page.

27. Are there areas in the world where assistance services cannot or will not be provided?
AXA and Crisis24 and their international offices can provide assistance around the globe. Their ability
to assist is limited in countries under comprehensive OFAC sanctions. As of June. 1, 2024 this
includes Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the regions of Ukraine under Russian control. Providing
assistance is also challenging in polar regions, other remote areas, and locations with a high degree of
political or social instability. However, they will always try to assist you regardless of your location or
circumstances. If you are injured in a remote area, always get to medical assistance ASAP, then call
Chubb-AXA Global Travel Assistance so they can monitor your care and arrange a medical
evacuation if needed. If you don’t know how to get access to medical care, call Chubb-AXA Global
Travel Assistance for referrals.
28. What other assistance services can AXA provide?
You can use AXA’s travel information portal, Travel Eye, before your trip to get information about
your travel destination including weather, travel hazards, health warnings, recommended vaccinations,
visa requirements, and more. During your trip you can access AXA’s list of vetted medical providers
through Travel Eye. While you are on a trip you can contact AXA for help with emergency medication,
lost document assistance, emergency reunion travel arrangements, referral to a lawyer, and translation
assistance. For more information about travel assistance go to the Travel Assistance web page.
29. What is the Emergency Reunion benefit, and when can I use it?
This benefit provides up to $5,000 per person in travel expenses for up to two people designated by the
traveler to visit them following a 24-hour hospital confinement that results from a covered accident or
illness or a felonious assault. See the Employee Benefits Summary for benefit limitations and
restrictions. Travel arrangements for those joining the traveler must be made by AXA Assistance. UC
employees have access to this benefit during both domestic and international business travel. When
traveling domestically, a qualifying hospitalization must be due to a covered accident (not illness).
30. What other security services can Crisis24 provide?
When you book travel through ConnexUC/Connexxus/Concur or register your travel with UC AWAY
you will be automatically enrolled to receive travel alerts from Crisis24 during your trip. Crisis24
analysts monitor world events 24 hours, 7 days a week, and they deliver direct to your email Inbox up-
to-date, relevant travel intelligence.
You also have access to the Worldcue® Traveler intelligence portal and Worldcue® Mobile app. If
you allow the mobile app to have access to your phone’s location data all the time, you will receive
location-based alerts. In 400 locations this includes neighborhood-level threat intelligence, so if you
wander into a higher-risk neighborhood, the app will notify you.
31. What if I combine personal travel with my UC-related travel, will I be covered?
Yes, the policy provides for up to 14 days personal deviation on foreign and domestic U.S. travel.
“Personal Deviation” means an activity that is not reasonably related to UC business, and not
incidental to the purpose of the trip. Examples include earlier arrival or extending your trip to do other
personal travel in the area or to other cities/countries. It also includes weekend side trips to other
locations. The 14 days is cumulative, so if you arrive 3 days early and travel 2 weekends during the
trip, you have 7 days of personal deviation remaining at the end of your UC business. If you are
traveling internationally and plan to do more personal travel than 14 days, you can purchase UC
Personal Travel Insurance prior to the trip.
10
32. What are Trip Interruption and Delay benefits?
These benefits are now offered to employees traveling both internationally and domestically. Trip
Interruption benefit may apply if you must return home before your intended travel end date for a
covered reason such as the death of an immediate family member or a severe illness that cannot be
effectively treated in your travel location. You will have to submit a death certificate or medical
records that document of the severity of your condition with your claim. You should contact Chubb-
AXA Global Travel Assistance before you return home to confirm eligibility for the benefit and to see
if they can assist with travel arrangements. The trip interruption benefit limit is $2,000.
Trip Delay benefits may apply if your travel to or from your destination is delayed more than 6 hours
for a covered reason, including inclement weather, strike, etc. This benefit will reimburse covered
expenses for food, lodging, and traveling expenses during the delay.
The daily maximum benefit limit is $200 per day. The maximum benefit period is 10 days, so the total
maximum benefit is $2,000.
Your claim must include receipts for expenses paid out-of-pocket that you want to be considered for
reimbursement. This benefit is payable for only one delay of your trip.

medical coverage”) and does not satisfy a person’s individual obligation to secure the requirement of
minimum essential coverage under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). For more information about the
ACA, please refer to www.HealthCare.gov.
