Blue Cross Blue Shield Global Solutions Medical Coverage for Travel: Single Trip Platinum
The Blue Cross Blue Shield Global Solutions Medical Coverage for Travel: Single Trip Platinum plan is a single-trip medical plan, which offers travelers emergency medical coverage while spending time abroad. This plan does require you to have primary health insurance, but there is no exclusion for pre-existing conditions.
With this plan you have the ability to select the medical limit, and also the deductible amount. This allows you to be comfortable with the amount of coverage you have for emergency medical care while you are traveling. The plan also features the Direct Pay program, which will pay medical bills upfront if the appointment was made with a medical provider in the Blue Cross Blue Shield Global Solutions network and Blue Cross Blue Shield Global Solutions is aware of the appointment 24-hours in advance.
The Single Trip Platinum plan provides you with an emergency assistance number to call 24 hours a day, seven days a week in the event you need medical assistance or an emergency evacuation during your trip.
Also, you’ll have access to detailed profiles of the doctors and hospitals in the area that you are traveling. This can help prepare you for the unexpected if you need to make decisions about medical treatment when you’re abroad.
The Single Trip Platinum plan offers 24/7 telemedicine visits at no extra cost to members. Through Global TeleMD, members are able to secure a same day virtual visit with the Blue Cross Blue Shield Global Solutions global network of doctors. The program offers multiple language options and consultation notes are sent directly to your phone. Additionally, Single Trip Platinum members have access to the Blue Cross Blue Shield Global Solutions award-winning app providing medical term and phrase translations, a medicine equivalent tool, news and safety information based on your location, and more.
When you need to end your trip early, due to a ‘covered reason’, trip interruption benefits can help reimburse you for the cost of air or ground transportation back home. Typically, covered reasons for trip interruptions include a covered illness or injury, a felonious assault, a terrorist event, or an imminent threat to your personal safety during the trip. Baggage protection is also included in this plan. The benefit will reimburse a traveler up to $500 (up to $100 per bag or personal effect) for replacement clothes and personal hygiene items if a piece of luggage is lost, damaged or stolen during transit.
The Blue Cross Blue Shield Global Solutions travel medical plans are available for purchase only before your departure date. If you have already departed on your trip, do not purchase this plan because you will not have any coverage.
