Blue Cross Blue Shield Global Solutions℠ helps your employees get care abroad
Most people plan on visiting the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame Cathedral and Louvre Museum. Nobody plans on visiting the emergency department, but that doesn’t mean it can’t happen.
While many plans offer strong coast-to-coast domestic coverage, employers may want an option that supports employees when they travel internationally. Blue Cross Blue Shield Global Solutions (BCBS Global Solutions℠), formerly known as GeoBlue, is an optional international travel medical plan. If employees have trips overseas planned—whether work-related, an incentive trip or personal vacation—it’s a good time to remind them they can get additional coverage for themselves and eligible dependents.
BCBS Global Solutions provides support designed to help employees stay safe, confident and connected to reliable care, whether they’re traveling internationally for work, school or leisure. And for a price that leaves money in the budget for more souvenirs.
For employees who travel, BCBS Global Solutions offers access to dependable healthcare, tools to plan for the unexpected and real people who can support them in a crisis.
Why BCBS Global Solutions matters for your workforce
BCBS Global Solutions combines smart technology with human support, so employees can find care quickly, get answers across time zones and access help during urgent situations.
With the BCBS Global Solutions mobile app, employees and covered dependents can locate doctors, check medicine equivalents, receive local health and security alerts and schedule unlimited telemedicine visits. In an emergency, a 24/7 medical assistance team is only a phone call away.
That’s the kind of reassurance employers value—knowing traveling employees have support outside the United States.
