    Yes, you need global health insurance.

    You may have great coverage in the U.S. But did you know most of those benefits don’t follow you overseas?

    If you need medical care when you’re traveling, you could have trouble finding care. You might not have any coverage for the services you need. And you could have to pay for everything upfront.

    If it sounds risky, it is—to both your health and your wallet. But that’s why we’re here. No matter where your travels take you, we’ve got your back.

    Our global health insurance plans are simple, easy to access and designed for you. How do we do it? By combining digital innovation with human-centered care.

    So go ahead. Say “yes” to the journey.

    Blue Cross Blue Shield Global SolutionsSM takes care of you while you take on the world.

    Seamless access to quality care.

And we provide tools and services to help them seamlessly connect with the right solution for their needs.

    Frequently asked questions

    Everyone! If you are going outside of the U.S., you should really protect yourself with a travel medical plan. Relying on your regular insurance could leave you with a large bill if you get sick or injured. Our plans protect every type of travel, from a spring break vacation in the Caribbean to a business trip to Tokyo. Planning to move to another country? We have a plan for that too! Find out more about all of our plans!

    With our single-trip plan, a trip can be as short as one day or as long as 182 days. The minimum charge is for 7 days. With our multi-trip plans, you'll be covered for an unlimited number of trips within 365 days. Multi-trip plans cover the first 70 days of each trip.

    Staying abroad for longer than a year? We have long-term health plans with comprehensive coverage. These plans can be renewed every year as needed.

     

    No. You need to buy our travel medical plans before you leave on your trip. You can buy a plan up to 1 day before you leave. For single-trip plans, you may request a policy extension or a one time consecutive re-enrollment while overseas.

    You can use the Provider Finder in the Member Portal or mobile app to search for doctors and hospitals. It shows their profiles and contact details so you can choose the best one for your needs. The app is free to download from the Apple® App Store® or Google PlayTM store.

    Once you book your visit, many doctors in our network can send us your bill directly, so you won’t have to pay upfront. If you need help, just call the number on the back of your ID card.
