Travel abroad with international health insurance that travels with you
If international travel is part of your spring or summer plans, don’t leave home without international health insurance. While your Blue KC health plan protects you when traveling domestically, that coverage doesn’t automatically translate to travel abroad. Supplemental international health insurance from Blue Cross Blue Shield Global SolutionsSM can fill the gap.
Who needs international coverage?
Blue KC recommends international health coverage for:
- Vacationers
- Frequent international travelers
- Individuals doing humanitarian or global service work
- Study abroad students
Why it matters?
Domestic plans generally aren’t built for care outside the U.S., and many international healthcare providers expect payment upfront. Global Solutions international health insurance helps simplify access to care by offering:
- Trusted global provider networks
- Direct pay to many doctors and hospitals
- 24/7 medical assistance
- Emergency medical evacuation support
- Global telemedicine for nonemergencies
It’s also important to understand that trip insurance protects your trip — cancellations, delays, and lost baggage. International health insurance protects you — your health, your access to care, and the cost of care.
Affordable coverage, digital accessibility
