Insurance

 

For the safety of its students studying abroad, and to ensure uniform coverage, Texas Tech has contracted with HTH Worldwide for insurance that provides health and accident coverage as well as emergency medical evacuation and repatriation of remains coverage.  HTH Worldwide is a leader in providing comprehensive coverage to students around the globe.  Their network of program providers, emergency evacuation processes, and other services make this a valuable tool in our effort to provide the safest study abroad environment possible to TTU students.   

Coverage under this group policy may be found by clicking here.  Highlights of the policy include $0 deductible, coverage for pre-existing conditions and full payment up front when using a network provider.

Students whose study abroad program includes similar coverage will not be required to purchase this coverage in addition to the program insurance, but may do so if they choose.  Students whose program does NOT provide similar coverage will be enrolled for this coverage by the Study Abroad office, even if covered under a parental policy. 

Students will be informed by email when they have been enrolled, and instructed to go to the HTH worldwide website to register. Students will be billed through Student Business Services.
