The title of this post might have easily been aptly named “Why you need Travel Medical Insurance”.  Many of us forget to include it in our trip planning, but travel medical insurance can make all of the difference when a trip does not play out perfectly.  Whether traveling for leisure or work, as a student, missionary or other volunteer, travel medical insurance offers all of the resources you will need to tackle any potential health related issues.

GeoBlue offers first-rate travel medical plans in cooperation with certain local Blue Cross and Blue Shield companies like Florida Blue.  More than just insurance, GeoBlue offers a host of built-in benefits to make sure that navigating healthcare away from home is smooth and worry free.

To scratch the surface at what you can expect when you travel with GeoBlue:

• English speaking Physician & Provider Network – Our network is by invitation only, made up of professionals who are certified by the American or Royal Board of Medical Specialties, who speak English, and who have received favorable recommendations by our worldwide advisory panel of 158 Physician Advisors.

• GeoBlue travels with you – We make it easy!  Right from your mobile device you can easily: access your digital proof of coverage accepted with ease with the network, fill your prescriptions, find a doctor, hospital, dentist and schedule an appointment, get directions, or if you prefer call our worldwide toll-free assistance line.  Our Global Health and Safety team will set it all up for you and serve as an ongoing resource to help you every step of the way.

• Destination health – with a strong presence in over 180 countries, GeoBlue has an elite network of just about every specialty to help you stay healthy during your trip.  No matter what part of the world you are heading to, you’ll likely find that we are there with support and resources to meet all of your simple and complex medical needs.

Before finalizing the planning phase of your trip, be sure to include travel medical insurance.  A lot can happen while on a trip and everyday things like drinking water, different foods, or more unlikely things like getting bitten by something in the air or water, hurting yourself in a slip or fall, etc… can and do happen.  Take a look at world-class coverage offered at an affordable price.  It won’t rob your travel fund  – we promise – plus you’ll be able to play with peace of mind!
