It’s been a long time since many people have felt comfortable traveling out of the country. With COVID-19 seemingly on the wane, and the travel bug biting people hard, ensuring that you have easy access to health care when you’re abroad is really important.
If you are planning international mission work or leisure travel, consider purchasing a GeoBlue travel medical insurance policy. GeoBlue is a great idea for Medicare recipients, too, as Original Medicare does not provide coverage outside of the United States.
Most U.S. health plans require out-of-pocket payment for international medical expenses, with the possibility of reimbursement upon your return home. With GeoBlue, you must still have a primary health insurance policy, but most medical costs are paid by the
GeoBlue policy, subject to selected limits and deductibles. You can also enjoy 24/7 phone, web, mobile, and telemedicine support, prescription drug availability, mental health services, medical evacuation, and health care-related translation services—and more. Post-departure trip interruption coverage up to $500 is built in. Lost baggage and personal effects coverage are also benefits. Those age six months to 95 years are eligible for coverage. There are several plans to choose from, and you can enroll in
a plan on the day you depart for your trip!
Single- or multi-trip plans are offered
