Necessary Steps for Travel Safety Management

OSSMA

OSSMA is a service that provides assistance to students in the event of incidents or accidents abroad, helping with the selection of local hospitals, arranging transportation or flights, and offering other logistical support. It is not an insurance service, and students are required to enroll in overseas travel insurance to cover medical expenses, including hospitalization, treatment, tests, counseling, as well as legal fees and costs for experts handling kidnapping or abduction situations.

OSSMA Plus

OSSMA Plus includes not only the services provided by OSSMA but also medical support functions from overseas travel insurance. However, since it does not cover death compensation, liability insurance, or compensation for lost belongings, you are required to enroll in additional “Supplementary Overseas Travel Insurance” separately when applying for OSSMA Plus. The service fees listed in the table below are for OSSMA Plus only. For details on death compensation, liability insurance, and other coverage for everyday travel issues, please refer to the “Supplementary Overseas Travel Insurance Information.”

Service Details and Differences from the Travel Insurance

Reference

※Since OSSMA Plus is a crisis management service that includes medical support, compensation certificates are generally not issued. If a certificate of service enrollment is required for exchange programs or other purposes, please inform the Student Exchange Support Division. Additionally, please be sure to confirm the sample certificate and the details of the coverage in advance.
