Benefit Resources to help with your travel plans.

Traveling/out-of-area:

MSU employees covered by the medical insurance can locate providers in the University’s out-of-area network by checking the wrap networks listed on the back of their insurance card. If an employee misplaces their card, they can log in to their Med-pay account to request a new one and download a temporary card.

For those with a Mercy primary provider, “Share Everywhere” on MyMercy allows temporary access to medical files for healthcare providers when traveling. Learn more about MyMercy’s benefits by reviewing the MyMercy FAQ’s.

You can use this card worry-free during your travels, as it protects against fraud and account depletion. Customize your funds and reload when necessary for a small fee of $2.95. If the card is lost, Visa will quickly replace it. The card requires an initial $5 purchase fee and remains valid for two years.
