International SOS Medical Evacuation and Repatriation Program
You Never Travel Alone with SOS
The United States of America welcomes students and scholars from all over the world. Now you can have International SOS membership to protect you with 24-hour assistance and evacuation/repatriation services if you need to return to your home country. International SOS offers a six month and a 12 month membership.
You can rely on SOS 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to provide information and referrals for any medical problem you experience while here in the United States. Should an emergency occur, just call the toll-free number on your membership card, and a medically-trained SOS professional will give you the attention you deserve. Your membership card will be sent to you when we receive your enrollment form.
SOS has more than 25 years experience in aeromedical evacuation procedures and will even transport you by private jet to a facility capable of treating your medical needs, up to a limit of $50,000, when medically necessary.
If following a medical evacuation, it is advisable for you to return to your home country as a result of a medical emergency, SOS will provide transportation, up to a limit of $20,000, for your repatriation with medical escort, if necessary. If you die while in the United States, SOS will return your remains home, up to a limit of $20,000.
SOS is available not only for life-threatening emergencies, but also to help with any unfamiliar situation that occurs during your stay. Sometimes you just need someone else to rely upon when an unexpected illness hits so far away from home. You can call SOS at no additional cost for information and referrals to local physicians, translations or assistance with other everyday medical problems you may face while in the United States.
For married participants, your spouse and children can also be covered under this plan. That way, all the services you receive will be available should your spouse or children suffer a medical emergency. You must be enrolled, however, in order for your spouse and children to be eligible.
The SOS Medical Evacuation and Repatriation Program is available to International students or scholars who are engaged in full-time educational activities inside the United States and outside their home country. Non-eligible students are eligible to purchase SOS Traveler and Expatriate programs.
IMPORTANT - This membership program is available only to foreign visitors to the U.S. who are granted a visa for study, exchange or training purposes. The program is subject to the compliance with applicable visa and immigration regulations. SOS services shall not be available to any person or institution found to be in contravention of these regulations or holding other types of visas.
