The SUNY International Health Insurance Plan, provided through UnitedHealthcare (UHCSR), offers comprehensive health coverage for SUNY students, faculty, and staff participating in UB-related international travel. The plan ensures access to essential medical and emergency services while abroad, with $0 deductible, copay, and coinsurance.

Key benefits include:

• Coverage for preventive care, illness, accidents and hospitalization.
• Emergency medical, security, political and natural disaster evacuation, plus repatriation of remains.
• Mental health services and prescription medications.
• 24/7 travel assistance, including lost passport help and medical referrals.
