Business Travel Accident Plan

Employees traveling on assignment by or with the authorization of Brown University outside University-owned property in the City of Providence, with travel costs reimbursed by the University, the Business Travel Accident Plan pays benefits for accidents resulting in death or dismemberment of the employee.

Business Travel Accident benefits are payable in addition to any other life insurance benefits.

Coverage starts when the employee departs from home, office, or other location, whichever is later, to go on a business trip and continues until the employee return home, to the office, or whichever is sooner.

The University discourages business travel in employee groups larger than five. In the event of multiple deaths for a group larger than 25, the University reserves the right to limit the payable benefit. The current aggregate limit of liability is $10,000,000 per accident.
