UC
recognizes the unique health care and other insurance needs of SC Directors and
their families while working abroad. UC offers a flexible, comprehensive health
program, which covers members both internationally as well as in the US, should
any eligible dependents choose not to relocate.
Note: SC Directors enrolled in HMO programs
or the Blue Cross Plus plans are only covered for emergency care benefits
outside of the US. SC Directors will need to change insurance plans during
their appointment abroad in order to receive full coverage.
If
an SC Director is enrolled in dental, vision, legal, and life and disability
insurance through his or her UC campus, it will remain in effect.
SC
Directors are strongly advised to visit their home campus Benefits Office and
establish contact with a benefits representative prior to departure. The
representative can assist in changing addresses in the University’s
system and answer questions about enrollment in a worldwide medical insurance
plan. Since there are deadlines by which one must make changes to insurance coverage,
SC Directors should contact the Benefits Office at least 30–45 days in
advance of departure.
If
additional guidance is needed to understand the health plan options and
transition to a worldwide coverage plan, contact UC’s At Your Service website, which offers contact directories for various insurance plans and health care facilitators at each campus.
