Independence Blue Cross (IBC) is pleased to announce GeoBlue products will now be available to members who travel internationally.  The leader and innovator of health insurance programs for world travelers, GeoBlue serves the health care needs of business travelers and expatriates and their families. 

Delivering Global Expertise and Exceptional Service

Domestic health plans often limit coverage abroad and generally do not have the capabilities to handle medical assistance and international claims.  GeoBlue delivers global expertise, exceptional service, and a carefully selected international community of doctors and hospitals in nearly 200 countries.

Two Plans for Long or Short Travel Durations

• GeoBlue for Expat - For employees traveling internationally for six months or more, this program includes coverage of hospitalization, maternity and chronic care, a robust international wellness program, and no restrictions on how long a member may spend in the United States.
• GeoBlue Traveler - For employees traveling internationally for up to 180 days, this program includes rich benefits covering hospitalization and medical evacuation.

Employees may benefit from a worldwide community of English-speaking doctors and 24/7 concierge-level assistance with both plans.  Members will:

• receive help with locating doctors and scheduling appointments;
• be guaranteed payments for cashless access to care;
• receive help with arranging necessary follow-up treatment.
