The University will continue to also provide immediate travel accident coverage through MEDEX Plus to MSU employees traveling on approved University business or activities. This plan provides accidental death and dismemberment coverage up to $50,000, and is automatic for all faculty/academic staff. The MEDEX Plus policy also provides certain benefits while traveling to and from the site abroad. No enrollment application is necessary and the University pays the cost. MEDEX Plus provides international medical and personal assistance, and emergency evacuation and repatriation to MSU faculty, staff and authorized travelers abroad. Study abroad faculty and staff are given a card and complete description of the coverage at the time they receive their travel advance documentation from the Office of Study Abroad. Access numbers vary according to location; however, the U.S. 24-hour Emergency Response Center can be reached at (410) 453-6330. Contact the Office of Risk Management and Insurance, 372 Administration Building, (517) 355-5022, for more information.
