International SOS and Assist America are NOT medical insurance
Students, faculty, and staff who travel abroad for Stanford-sponsored or Stanford-organized travel are strongly encouraged to have a medical/hospitalization insurance plan for the duration of their time abroad and for all countries in which they intend to travel. Check with your medical provider to verify if your current plan includes international coverage for medical treatment.
