For Hearing-Impaired Members :
To reach us, please dial 711 on your TTY (Teletypewriter) to use the TRS (Telecommunications Relay Service) and ask the operator to connect you to the assistance number on the back of your insurance card.
Additionally, you can also contact us prior departure for more information on the assistance process and the best ways to contact us during your trip.
