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.
