UNDERSTAND YOUR OPTIONS
What is travel health insurance?
Travel health insurance, often called travel medical insurance, helps with eligible medical expenses while you are away from home. The details depend on the policy you choose.
Start with your existing coverage
Ask your U.S. insurer how your benefits work abroad. Then compare any gaps with the limits, deductibles, exclusions, and eligibility rules of a travel medical plan.
Check your overseas health benefitsSeparate medical needs from trip costs
Treatment abroad and prepaid travel bookings need separate attention. The CDC distinguishes travel health, cancellation, and medical evacuation insurance. Read the CDC overview.

BEFORE YOU BOARD
Good questions.
Clear next steps.
Is travel medical insurance the same as trip cancellation insurance?
No. Travel medical insurance focuses on medical needs abroad. Do not assume it reimburses a canceled trip, delayed flight or lost bag. Review the specific policy for any additional benefits.
What if I already have U.S. health insurance?
Ask your health plan about care outside the U.S., including exclusions and out-of-pocket costs. Then review travel medical options against any gaps you identify.
Can I buy after I leave the U.S.?
Plan your purchase before departure. Confirm the purchase deadline, eligibility rules, and coverage start date for the specific option with BCBS Global Solutions.
Are pre-existing conditions covered?
This depends on the plan and its terms. Review the exact policy wording, eligibility requirements and exclusions with BCBS Global Solutions before you buy.
