Insurance Requirements
For Long Term Crew
Mercy Ships requires all long-term crew to obtain health, evacuation and repatriation insurance with the following three requirements before arrival:
- Adequate coverage of medical costs worldwide, including pre-existing conditions;
- Emergency evacuation with a minimum of $50,000 per person from anywhere in the world to a location in which adequate medical care can be provided;
- Repatriation coverage (minimum $15,000) of mortal remains worldwide.
Mercy Ships preferred provider is Talent Trust Consutants (TTc) which specializes in insurance for missionaries and meets all of our requirements. If you enroll with TTc, you will be billed through Mercy Ships on a monthly basis. However it is required that you sign up/enroll for coverage before you leave home. Details of their products can be found on the website at www.talent-trust.com
Please note – TTc does not cover pre-existing conditions, therefore, if you have a pre-existing condition, you will need to find another insurance company or buy an additional policy.
Whatever policy you obtain, it is important that you confirm your coverage using the Pre-Arrival Form and send a copy of the policy to your Placement Facilitator at least three weeks before your arrival.
