International travel health plans from GeoBlue   As a broker, your clients look to you to provide guidance on what their Medicare plan covers and more importantly, does not cover. Understanding your clients’ lifestyle and coverage needs is important for creating lasting client relationships.   Medicare plans are designed for health care in the U.S., and they can fall short on critical benefits that are necessary to protect your clients when they travel outside the United States. These include medically necessary evacuation and global telemedicine services. Also, international claims may be considered out of network and may not be covered by Medicare at all. Medicare/Medicaid plans may have deductibles, copays and coinsurance that are not familiar to international providers which means your clients could end up having lots of unnecessary hassle and paying more out of pocket. Annual Enrollment Is an Ideal Time To Promote GeoBlue Seniors are inherently tuned into their benefits during the Medicare annual election period (AEP), which began October 15 and runs through December 7. This is an ideal time to communicate to seniors about the potential gaps in international coverage through their Medicare plans and how GeoBlue can help fill those gaps and provide them with peace of mind and confidence. To assist you, GeoBlue has created a Medicare Campaign Guide that provides you with ready-to-use content for your customer communications, including articles for e-newsletters, social content and blogs.
