CAREERS

This plan offers coverage for participants traveling out of the country for extended periods and for those who live in rural areas where UK health insurance plans have no providers.

If you will be out of the service areas for our other plans more than 120 consecutive days in the plan year, you must elect the UK Indemnity plan.
