The name you trust for domestic coverage is also the name you can trust for international health insurance.

Selling international health insurance is a natural extension of selling traditional medical coverage. It’s an important product to lock-in existing customers, stay competitive, and further diversify your book of business.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina offers international health coverage through GeoBlue, an international healthcare leader with over 20 years’ experience, owned and backed by Blue Cross Blue Shield and Bupa Global.

Why international coverage matters to domestic business

More than ever, domestic populations are going global for business and leisure. In fact, studies show that 53 percent of boomers anticipate traveling internationally, 35 percent of family vacations are taken internationally, and 80 percent of international business trips are extended for leisure travel.

Likewise, many domestic health plans don’t cover critical international benefits such as medical evacuation and repatriation, which can cost up to $150,000 or more at the expense of the member, according to GeoBlue.
