Working or volunteering abroad?

Our plans protect your health and your agenda.

Your work doesn’t stop. Neither should your coverage.

Whether you're heading abroad to attend a work conference or to take on a volunteer opportunity, local healthcare isn’t always accessible or covered by your plan back home. International health insurance for business travel helps you prepare for the unexpected—like an accident during an international conference, an illness while volunteering in a remote village, or a lost prescription while teaching abroad.

Some countries even mandate proof of coverage to issue your work or volunteer visa. The good news? You don’t have to figure it out alone. We’ve helped individuals and organizations navigate global health coverage with confidence—so you can focus on your work or mission.

Our plans for business travel and working abroad.

Why you need medical insurance when working abroad or traveling for business.

  • You’re focused on the work. We’ll help you stay healthy.

    Whether you're building homes, teaching English or working on a crew, there’s enough to think about. International health insurance gives you one less thing to worry about—covering you for everything from sudden illness and injuries to prescriptions and mental health support, even in hard-to-reach places.

  • Work visa? Many countries require proof of coverage.

    Some countries won’t issue a visa until you show proof of qualifying health insurance. We help take the guesswork out, so your paperwork doesn’t delay your plans.

  • Support systems aren’t always built in.

    Accessing care in a foreign country can be disorienting—especially if you don’t speak the language or know where to go for care. With 24/7/365 multilingual assistance and global networks, you’ll have support from Blue Cross Blue Shield Global Solutions, wherever your work takes you.

  • Organizations have a duty to protect their people.

    If you’re sending staff, faculty or volunteers abroad, international health insurance for business travel is more than a benefit—it’s part of your duty of care. It helps safeguard your team, meet legal obligations, and keep your mission or operations running smoothly.

  • Stay focused on why you’re there.

    When your health is protected, it’s easier to stay present and do your best work. No matter if your assignment is a few weeks or a few years, the right coverage gives you the peace of mind to make the most of your time abroad.
