Did you know Medicare doesn't cover medical costs overseas? Jill Cappelli and Ashlee W. do. Last week they showed their #PhillyPride with the Phanatic at the local Independence Blue Cross Medicare Broker Kickoff Event at parx casino, while also raising awareness about the crucial need for seniors to close coverage gaps for international travel. ⚠️ Many seniors enrolled in Medicare assume their coverage extends abroad, but that’s not the case. ⚠️ In fact, a U.S. passport contains language that encourages beneficiaries to seek other solutions. GeoBlue can fill the gaps in global benefits and services. If you want to learn more, just reach out to Jill or one of our team. https://lnkd.in/gKqC63Xq #Medicare #International #Travel #HealthInsurance #MedicalInsurance #TravelInsurance #GeoBlue #BCBSGlobal

Interest in global assignments is increasing, with 71% of employer groups reporting a rise in international assignments in the past year. However, the complexity of administering global benefits remains a challenge. Brokers and employers want the ease of administration that comes from using a single provider, but single providers and packaged solutions don’t offer best-in-class coverage for both health and ancillary benefits. The result? Brokers and employers have had to prioritize convenience over quality. Until now. Globaline™ offers a comprehensive suite of health, life and long term disability products in a single solution, which means there’s no need to compromise on simplicity or quality. Discover how Globaline delivers the best of both worlds. 🎉 www.goglobaline.com #Globaline #GeoBlue #MetLife #ExpatHealth #Expat #Insurance #International

Happy #TravelTuesday! 🎉 Join us as we highlight a life-changing international adventure from one of our talented team members. 🌍✈️ Tanika Black, Care Coordinator for our Medical Review Team, recently returned from a week-long trip to #PanamaCity! She enjoyed meeting extended family members for the first time, exploring history and more. Let's hear some highlights from Tanika's trip: 🚢 "I learned a lot about the history of the #PanamaCanal. For example, I learned why it was built and the resources it provided to other countries. I didn't know that it took over a decade to build the initial canal and that it was expanded so that larger boats could utilize it." 🏛️ "I also learned a lot about my culture, which was life-changing. In the past, my father told me details about #Panama – but seeing everything up close and personal was beautiful. I loved the art and the architecture of the buildings, both new and old." 🥰 "We visited my aunt and one of my cousins. It was my first time meeting them in person! I received a brief history lesson and can’t wait to learn more." Tanika says she's excited to visit again next year to meet other family members, try some new foods and visit the other islands. It sounds like she's been bitten by the international travel bug, and we're here for it! 🌎💙 Thanks for sharing your adventure, Tanika! #TravelTuesday #Inspire #Adventure #Learn #International #Travel #GeoBlue #BCBSGlobal

How does GeoBlue help members enjoy their time abroad? By providing access to their healthcare through our industry-leading digital tools! While telehealth provides our members with convenient 24/7/365 access to doctors for non-emergencies, traveling and/or living abroad can bring on unforeseen medical challenges.
