How do we access HTH while we am abroad?
If you or your student have a health issue, injury, or need to seek medical advice, call HTH, collect, 24/7/365, and a medical professional will assist you. HTH will help locate a doctor, dentist, or other medical professional and provide medical advice. Do not delay in calling, even if you cannot locate your policy number, HTH can help you. If it is an emergency, get to a medical facility and then contact HTH Worldwide. Faculty Leaders should not attempt to diagnose medical situations – use the HTH case management resource.
