What about GeoBlue international travel insurance?

Posted by (USA) on

My Blue Cross/Blue Shield medical plan offers, for a reasonable annual fee, medical insurance and medical evacuation insurance overseas, covering trips up to 70 days long and as many trips as you might make during the year. It sounds like a good deal, and pretty convenient to buy:

From anyone who has more knowledge of this kind of insurance than I do, any red flags that you see? (I already searched GeoBlue on this forum and nothing specific came up. I don't know if this is a new plan/new company or not.)

Thanks.

Here is my two cents: Don’t buy any short term travel health insurance without references from people who have filed claims and were reimbursed for their expenses expeditiously.

Those who say they bought it but never needed to file a claim cannot offer you any helpful feedback whatsoever about the insurance company.

We buy insurance for peace of mind and the peace of mind comes from knowing that it will be unlikely that there will be hassles from the insurance company based on other people’s experience.

Find out from those who have filed a claim and how the insurance company responded.

I perpetually keep an annual GeoBlue policy and have for several years...it's cheaper than buying separate policies for every single trip. They have been around for quite a while. That said, I have never had to make a claim but the reviews I read before purchasing it were all good. That's all I can add to this conversation! Hopefully someone on here has filed a successful claim and can share their experience.
