The pandemic has reshaped attitudes about travel medical insurance. Now 74% of international travelers are more likely to purchase travel health insurance.
Geo Blue offers international medical plans. Part of the Blue Cross® Blue Shield® family, Geo Blue provides access to one of the largest global provider networks along with exceptional service.
Geo Blue individual plans include medically necessary COVID-19 testing and treatment, medically necessary evacuation and repatriation, and global telemedicine services.
- Many countries have requirements for entry… including proof of adequate medical coverage.
- The State Department encourages travelers to purchase supplemental short-term travel medical insurance.
- Most U.S. health insurance plans, including Medicare, do not cover medically necessary evacuations and may not provide direct payments to international hospitals and providers, as recommended by the U.S. State Department.

Testimonials:
We appreciate the extraordinary services rendered by your support team.
They were patient with me and treated me courteously and with patience. There are not enough words to express the excellence of their assistance, help and encouragement.
– Ron M. regarding care in Turin, Italy
When the reality hit me that my son was sick in a foreign country over 7,000 miles away, I felt helpless.
But the GeoBlue staff was so caring and helpful. They were able to tell me how close the best source of care was from his location (only 8 miles!) and explained about the high standards of care all their facilities have agreed to provide. And the fact that my son could use the mobile tools to secure care and arrange for direct payment provided even more assurance that he would be supported by a completely competent and forward thinking company!
– Joy C. regarding care in the Philippines
The level of care and assistance…
…provided by Geo Blue far surpasses that of my domestic health insurer.
– Jen M. regarding care in Malmö, Sweden
Wow! That clinic was the nicest one that I’ve ever been to.
The staff was really helpful and expeditious. I showed up early for my appointment, but they accommodated me immediately so I did not have to wait. And from what I understand, they did all that because I am a Geo Blue customer. I’ve been sick abroad before, but I never received customer service like this.
– B. Howell regarding care in Adenau, Germany
