Insurance

UMVIM, NC strongly encourages obtaining appropriate insurance coverage for teams serving in the field. Too, often, teams find out too late that their individual insurance policies do not cover them outside of the United States. UMVIM Teams are advised to check with their current insurance company to find out if coverage is provided for medical costs while serving in mission internationally.

UMVIM offers insurance through the Southeastern Jurisdictional Office of Coordination which includes coverage for medical costs incurred after accidents, but does not include medical costs due to illness. However a rider is included that provides for medical evacuation in the event of any serious medical emergency or repatriation in the event of a fatality. This service is provided by Assist America, which will handle all arrangements and pay all costs after proper consultation.

Additional coverage for medical costs due to illness may be obtained from UMVIM's agent directly.
