OnCall International Health Insurance and Assistance

All UTRGV students on international education experiences are covered by On Call for health insurance and emergency assistance.

To register your trip with On Call, simply forward your flight itinerary confirmation email to trips@oncallinternational.com. Please note the following:

  • If you are not using your .edu email address to send the email, ensure you include that you are with UTRGV in the email
  • If you know where you are staying, you can include the full address of your accommodations in the email along with your flight. As an alternative, you can include the address of where you’ll be spending most of your time. 
  • Include your US mobile phone number 

Once On Call processes your trip, you will be registered in the travel monitoring system, powered by OnSolve, and the following will occur:

  1. Dependent upon the risk rating of your destination, you may receive a pre-travel advisory email with standing health and safety advice
  2. You will be registered to receive critical incident alerts via email if any are issued for your destination shortly before your trip, or while you are traveling.   
  3. You will be registered to use the OnSolve Risk Intelligence application and receive an emailed invitation to download it. The registration may not work if On Call did not receive your mobile phone number. In order to optimize usage of the app, use the recommended settings found in the Mobile App User Guide
Emails will deliver from OCI Alerts with an @stabilitas.io or @onsolve.com email domain, we suggest you take a moment to mark these as safe senders 
  • On Call Plan ID Card 
  • Student International Travel Accident and Sickness Policy

While traveling…

You can make a collect call, send an email, live chat or text On Call from anywhere in the world 24 hours day to request assistance. If you need medical care, encounter a travel problem, suffer a medical emergency, or are impacted by security crisis anywhere in the world, we strongly encourage you to take advantage of services available through On Call.

If there is a critical incident alert issued for your reported location, if it is a high or extreme risk then certain contacts at the institution will also be automatically notified.  Dependent upon the nature of the incident, you may receive a text, email, and/or a notification from the App (if you’ve configured it), with a communication requesting for you to check in and acknowledge whether you are safe or require assistance. These messages are generated by the institution or the On Call International Global Security Team. It is important to acknowledge the message as soon as possible so we can prioritize where help is needed and coordinate a quick and efficient response.
