Whether you are traveling abroad for work, relocating internationally, or living outside the United States, your domestic health insurance will not protect you overseas. International and travel health insurance fills that gap — giving you access to emergency care, hospitalization, and medical services no matter where you are in the world.
Today's global lifestyle demands global coverage. Whether you're a digital nomad working from Thailand or the Philippines, a content creator living between Europe and Southeast Asia, an expat building a new life abroad, a retiree enjoying overseas retirement, or a business traveler hopping time zones — your U.S. health insurance stops at the border. International travel health insurance moves with you, covering emergency care, hospitalization, and medical services wherever life takes you.
BCBS Global Solutions plans cover emergency medical treatment, hospitalization, doctor visits, emergency evacuation, prescription drugs, and 24/7 assistance in 180+ countries — so you're never alone in a medical emergency, no matter the timezone.
Star Pointe Assurance helped me find the perfect international health plan before my move to Southeast Asia. The process was seamless and I felt covered from day one. Incredibly helpful team.
Most U.S. domestic health insurance plans, including employer-sponsored plans, ACA marketplace plans, and Medicare, do not provide coverage outside the United States. If you travel or live abroad, you need a separate international health insurance plan to be covered for medical expenses overseas.
Travel health insurance is typically short-term coverage designed for a specific trip, covering emergency medical care and trip-related issues. International health insurance is longer-term coverage designed for expats, overseas workers, or people who live abroad for extended periods, providing more comprehensive ongoing health benefits.
The cost of international travel health insurance depends on your age, destination, length of coverage, and the plan you choose. Short-term travel plans can start at very affordable monthly rates, while comprehensive expat plans vary based on coverage level.

Some international health insurance plans offer coverage for pre-existing conditions, subject to eligibility requirements and waiting periods. A licensed agent at Star Pointe Assurance will help you review plan options that best fit your health history.
