I’m traveling out of the country, what should I know?

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 Core 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.

To learn more, review these resources available from the Global Core program:
