Effective October 1, 2007, the University has changed the Business Travel Accident insurance to ACE USA. When traveling on official University business you will be covered worldwide, 24 hours a day, for a wide variety of accidents and incidents while away from the workplace.

This new coverage is broader and more generous and is provided at no cost to you, but you must register to ensure coverage for each business trip. This coverage includes:

• Accidental death,
• Accidental dismemberment,
• Paralysis,
• Permanent total disability,
• Emergency Medical Evacuation,
• Repatriation of Remains,
• Security Extraction,
• Out-of-Country Medical,
• Loss of Personal Effects, and
• Other Travel Assistance Services (when business traveler is 100+ miles from home or office; security extraction not subject to mileage limitation)

Prior to departure for each business trip, you must complete the Traveler Insurance form at www.uctravel.org. After completing the form, you will receive confirmation of coverage and information to use in an emergency while traveling on University business both domestically and abroad.

You are only required to register business trips that are out-of-state or to a foreign country. You will be automatically covered for business travel within the state.

Coverage is also provided to a spouse/domestic partner and dependent child(ren) when accompanying you on a business trip.

The registration will ensure coverage for you while traveling on official University business. Your registration information will serve to verify eligibility to the insurance company in the event you submit a claim, use any benefit, or request travel assistance services.
