Penn State University Selects HTH Worldwide to Provide Health Insurance and Services for Study Abroad Programs Offered at 24 Campuses

HTH Worldwide, the leading provider of international health plans and online health and security information to the international education community, announced today that it has been awarded a three-year contract by Penn State University to serve thousands of study abroad students at its 24 campuses. Every year, over 250,000 U.S. students studying abroad need health insurance and access to quality healthcare. Study abroad activity continues to grow rapidly despite security concerns around the world.

The Penn State students, representing one of the largest study abroad contingents in the country, gain access online at www.hthstudents.com and via handheld communication devices through HTH Mobile Health(SM) to search outside the U.S. They can access a wide range of global health and security information as well as assistance services. At www.hthadvisors.com , Penn State's international student advisors can increase their productivity and ease the burden of plan administration by using online tools for enrollment and claims functions.

"We are extremely pleased to have been chosen by Penn State and will strive to provide the excellent service that sets HTH apart," said Elaine Del Rossi, Chief Sales Officer, HTH Worldwide. "Penn State students visiting 45 different countries can all count on HTH to help make their international studies a safe and healthy experience."
