UC DAVIS: Risk Management Services 11/29/2007 DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS, & ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS RE: Business Travel Accident Insurance and Student Off-Campus Activities Insurance Effective October 1, 2007, the University has changed both the Business Travel and Student Off-Campus Travel Accident insurance to provide enhanced coverage. When traveling on official University business or students traveling to participate in off-campus activities sponsored and supervised by the University, coverage will be provided worldwide, 24 hours a day, for a wide variety of accidents and incidents while away from the workplace or campus. This new coverage is broader, more generous than previous UC coverage and is provided at no cost to the traveler. The University is requiring registration prior to out-of-state and foreign country departure. The traveler must complete the Business Traveler Insurance form at http://www.uctravel.org for each trip. This registration generates a confirmation of coverage insurance card for each trip; provides medical emergency travel assistance telephone numbers; and lets the University know where we need to go to assist/rescue our students, faculty, staff, and any spouse/domestic partner or dependent children traveling with them. To learn more about the new programs now provided by ACE USA, please visit http://www.uctravel.org this site will also explain Collection of Data for Employee and Student Out-of-State and Foreign Travel. A summary of the new coverage is provided in Business and Finance Bulletin BUS-74. To register your out-of-state or foreign travel: 1. Prior to departure, go to http://www.uctravel.org. 2. Click on "UC Traveler Insurance," fill out the form, and save changes. 3. Print the form. This provides the student or employee with confirmation of coverage and information to use in an emergency while traveling out-of-state and abroad. For additional information and questions, please contact Risk Management Services at (530) 757-8391 or dmpence@ucdavis.edu. Deborah M. Luthi, ARM, CCSA Director-Risk Management Services 07-097
