Most people understand the need for everyday health insurance, but have you considered your need for more travel-ready medical coverage?
From a sprained ankle on a cross-country road trip to a medical emergency on another continent, Whitaker Muller Insurance Group has travel medical and international health insurance coverage to fit your needs.
Known as GeoBlue, this coverage provides peace of mind to world travelers and expats living abroad anywhere in the world via an elite network of providers, innovative mobile and online tools, and exceptional customer service.
While GeoBlue is an independent licensee of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, you do not have to be currently enrolled in a Blue Cross and/or Blue Shield medical plan to purchase a GeoBlue plan.
Plan Options
Coverage options include single and multiple trip options for domestic and world travelers as well as long-term plans for expatriates.
Plans can be written to include coverage within the United States to supplement existing health insurance as well as coverage outside of the country.
Within the United States, GeoBlue’s network includes 90 percent of hospitals and 80 percent of physicians. With at least one provider available in every zip code in the country, the Blue network has more participating board-certified doctors than any other health insurance.
Outside of the United States, the elite provider network includes 158 regional physician advisors in 180 countries and territories around the world. Located in major cities and remote regions, approved providers practice Western style medicine, speak fluent English, and are certified by the American or Royal Board of Medical Specialties.
