Cultural Insurance Services International (CISI), 2024-2025 Plan Year

CISI is the insurance agency that Georgetown University (GU) selected to customize the Study Abroad Plan, Policy # GLM N06566066. CISI designs customized study abroad health plans for other universities as well and coordinates components of the Plan as listed below.

• GU Student Health Insurance
• ACE, the insurance company that holds the risk
• Team Assist and the Assistance Provider, Medassist (Phone numbers for contacting Team Assist are on your CISI ID card)
