House Staff Travel Insurance 

For travel outside of the United States, the medical plan does have emergency coverage.  It is coverage for a true emergency that is provided.  It does not coverage continuing services or other routine services, so the coverage is very limited.  Employees who are traveling outside of the US may want to look into getting personal international travel insurance for  healthcare.
