Cultural Insurance Services International provides insurance coverage and travel assistance to more than 80,000 participants of cultural exchange programs annually. Our office has access to both the domestic and international insurance markets and has more than thirty years of experience providing international travelers with world-class insurance plans.

Insurance options can be overwhelming; that’s why CISI is proud to have built a renowned reputation in the marketplace for superior customer service. Our seasoned account representatives have over ten years of experience, with backgrounds in administration, admissions, accounting, education management, and law. They will guide you every step of the way and customize the process to meet your needs and requirements.

Service during the coverage period is the most important aspect of what we offer. After all, what good is insurance if you can’t, or don’t know how, to use it? There are many obstacles with worldwide insurance, such as language barriers and unfamiliarity with insurance procedures in some foreign countries. That is why CISI offers 24-7-365 worldwide assistance services – a resource for everything from a lost passport to an emergency evacuation. Our assistance service has doctors and translators on staff, providing toll-free, worldwide access to benefits, eligibility, providers, and emergency assistance.

International experience is key to our ability to provide advanced insurance services for cultural exchange programs. Our participants travel to more than 100 countries annually – from Costa Rica, to Italy, to Brazil, to Egypt, to China. Our own international and sister offices give CISI direct connections in London, Germany, South Africa, and Australia.
