Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I register?
   No separate registration is needed. If you are a faculty or staff member, student, alumni, or volunteer of a member institution, you’re automatically covered when traveling on institution-sponsored trips.
2. How do I secure documentation of my insurance policy for myself, visa application, and other purposes?
   You can contact EIIA directly at eiia@healix.com for copies of your insurance documentation.
3. What type of services are covered?
   Broad emergency services are covered. This does not include routine services such as dental check-ups. View the EIIA International Program FAQs for coverage details.
4. Can I travel with prescription medicine? 
   Each country legislates pharmaceuticals differently. Even if your doctor has prescribed a medication, it does not necessarily mean your host country will allow you to enter with it. Please always check the local laws before traveling. EIIA can assist in determining which medicines may travel with you.
5. I need to visit a doctor abroad. What is the first step? 
   If this is a life-threatening medical emergency, please seek immediate assistance from the nearest medical provider. For all other services, contact EIIA before seeking treatment. They will direct you to the nearest medical facility that is covered within the insurance plan. If you decide to seek medical services that are not advised or covered by EIIA, there may be non-reimbursable expenses.
6. Will I be covered if I need to visit a doctor outside of my host city/country?
   Yes. The supplemental insurance plan will cover you if you are traveling outside of your host city/country and need medical treatment. 
7. I plan on traveling independently after my study away program. Am I still covered?
   Yes. In fact, our built-in unlimited personal sojourn coverage means you can arrive early or stay on for as long as you’d like before or after the institution-sponsored event. Either way, you retain your full coverage, with just a few exceptions outlined in the policy. You’re even covered if you travel to other countries while on a personal sojourn.
