MIT provides Cigna travel health insurance for all MIT students participating in MIT programs abroad

How it works

  • Cigna insurance provides up to $100,000 in medical coverage during your MIT-approved experience abroad.
  • This insurance is managed by ISOS. You must call ISOS if you need to use the insurance: if it is not an emergency call ahead; if it is an emergency call as soon as you are able to do so.
  • If you have any other health insurance, do not cancel it, as you might need to use it as a secondary insurance.
  • Please familiarize yourself with Cigna’s coverage terms as well as its exclusions and limitations. This is travel health insurance so it doesn't cover everything.

Please be aware that there are a few situations when MISTI participants will not have access to Cigna travel health insurance. If you fall into any of these categories, talk to your program manager about alternative coverage options.
