Before you travel, check your health coverage
We know what it means to get sick far from home. In the U.S., going to the hospital without coverage can be very expensive, and you would have to pay the bill. Workers' compensation, if your employer has it, covers injuries at work, but not an illness or an accident outside of work. If you do not have coverage, or what you have is not enough, we offer you an alternative: compare the coverage you get through your job with the plans we help you enroll in.
This is optional. It does not help or hurt your chances of getting any job. Alliant Federation is not an employer or a recruiter.
