Summary: MEDEX
Coverage
Through
The
Office
of
Student
Health
Benefits
What
is
MEDEX
and
why
does
the
Office
of
Student
Health
Benefits
offer
it?
People
often
feel
concerned
for
their
health
and
wellness
when
traveling
overseas
or
even
a
long
distance
from
home.
How
would
you
handle
the
situation
if
either
you
or
a
family
member
or
colleague
became
ill
or
injured
while
traveling?
Some
may
think
to
contact
their
parent
or
University
department
for
help
while
others
may
contact
their
U.S.
primary
care
doctor.
But
wouldn't
you
find
it
comforting
to
know
that
wherever
you
are
you
could
call
upon
a
U.S.
board-
certified
physician
for
help?
Because
the
University
has
a
large
number
of
students
who
travel
worldwide
on
a
regular
basis,
it
was
an
easy
decision
to
help
students
prepare
for
the
unexpected
by
adding
the
MEDEX
medical
emergency
and
travel
assistance
program.
And
the
easy
part
for
you
is
that
you
are
automatically
enrolled
in
MEDEX
at
no
additional
cost
when
you
enroll
in
the
Student
Health
Benefit
Plan,
AHC
Student
Health
Benefit
Plan,
Graduate
Assistant
Health
Plan,
or
Resident/Fellow
medical
option.
The
University
selected
MEDEX
because
they
have
been
a
leader
in
the
international
travel
assistance
industry
since
1977.
They've
done
that
by
holding
to
one
simple
purpose--to
help
travelers
in
need.
MEDEX
operates
like
an
international
911.
Whether
it's
pre-travel
advice
or
emergency
medical
and
security
evacuations,
MEDEX
ensures
quality,
consistency,
and
speed
when
it
is
needed
most.
If
you
need
to
contact
MEDEX,
you'll
find
highly
trained,
