At a minimum, insurance coverage shall include: (1)medical benefits of at least U.S. $50,000 per person per accident or illness; (2)repatriation of remains in the amount of U.S. $7,500; and (3)expenses associated with medical evacuation in the amount of U.S. $10,000.; A policy secured to fulfill the insurance requirements shall not have a deductible that exceeds U.S. $500 per accident or illness, and must meet other standards specified in the Exchange Visitor Program regulations, 22 CFR Part 514.14.

Human Resources offers HTH Worldwide health insurance to V2 Visitors. V2 Visitors are defined as visitors who are not on the UCAR payroll but who may receive a temporary living per diem or travel reimbursement. An HTH Worldwide health insurance enrollment form will be sent to new V2 visitors requesting coverage.  A new ID card will be issued along with a letter explaining the new health insurance plan. The billing for the insurance is for the total time the visitor is covered. The invoice will be processed through Human Resources and charged against the Lab/Division/Program account key listed on the V2 form. If you have any questions, please contact Cyd Perrone at x8710.
