Learn about business travel accident insurance coverage for UC travelers.

Insurance requirement

Business Travel Accident Insurance provides coverage for a wide variety of accidents and incidents to official University business travelers when away from the campus or primary workplace. Accident coverage is automatic when booking in Concur or when the trip is less than 100 miles.

Who is eligible

Regents, faculty, staff, students, or an "official" volunteer (as demonstrated with a Human Resources (HR) appointment) on business travel are eligible for coverage. Coverage can be provided to a spouse/domestic partner, dependent(s), and traveling companions when traveling with them.

How to register

Coverage is automatic when you book travel with Concur Travel, UC San Diego business travel booking program. If you book through another source, then you must register for insurance. Please note that current UC San Diego travel policy requires use of Concur for business travel.
