Hello travelers,
If your flights were paid for by WMF you are covered by WMF's travel
insurance policy. To my knowledge, the insurance only covers health related
issues - if you are concerned about your property, you should purchase your
own travel insurance policy.
Attached is the travel insurance guide and policy numbers, if you need
them. Below are instructions on how to use the card, and other helpful
travel information.
*We STRONGLY recommend not checking baggage*, but if you must check your
bags, pack medication and a change of clothes in your carry on.
*If you need to change your flights,* contact T&T travel.
Monday - Friday 8:00 - 18:00 Pacific time:1-888-251-2033
Emergency after hours, including saturday and sunday: 1-888-734-8298
From Mexico: 001-800-734-8298
International: call
collect to 1-402-399-4667
*How to use travel insurance:*
1. Always carry your UnitedHealthcare Global Assistance ID card

when traveling. Expatriates are covered on a full-time basis while on
assignment. (If you are injured while you are working, the claim may be
covered by worker's compensation - ask benefits associate for more
information)
2. If you suffer a medical emergency, go immediately to the nearest
physician or hospital without delay and then contact UnitedHealthcare
Global Assistance.
3. For help with medical, travel, and security problems, call
UnitedHealthcare Global Assistance using one of the country-specific
toll-free numbers printed on the back of the card. If you are in a country
not listed, call the Emergency Response Center collect (1-410-453-6330).
4. A multilingual Assistance Coordinator will ask your name, your
organization's name, your UnitedHealthcare Global Assistance ID number
(shown on your ID card) and a description of the situation.
5. Assistance will be given and UnitedHealthcare Global Assistance will
monitor your case until the situation is resolved.
