Value Added Programs

Everyone’s health care journey is different. That’s why your Regence plan
offers more than robust medical and pharmacy benefits. You also have access
to a variety of programs designed to make your life and your health care
experience easier—at no cost to you.

Coverage While Travelling Out of Country

As an enrolled member in the State’s health plan, you have the ability to take your healthcare benefits with you when you go abroad. Through the Regence Blue Shield Global Care program, you have access to doctors, hospitals, support tools, and resources around the world.

Here is what you need to know:

• Always carry your insurance card.
• Contact the plan before you travel for questions about using services.
• If direct payment has not been arranged or your local plan is unable to verify your benefit coverage at time of service, you may need to pay upfront and submit a claim for reimbursement.
