Important Update: GeoBlue is Now Blue Cross Blue Shield Global Solutions
GeoBlue has rebranded to Blue Cross Blue Shield Global Solutions. The company name, plan names, and logo are getting a refresh, but the benefits you count on haven't changed.
Plan Name Update: The plan previously known as Trekker Choice is now called Multi-Trip Platinum. The coverage and benefits remain the same — only the name has changed.
As updates roll out, you may see both names and logos. We're in the process of updating everything, and we appreciate your patience during this transition.
Multi-Trip Travel Insurance for U.S. Citizens
GeoBlue is confident you will find the benefits and services with the Trekker plan to be exceptional. However, if you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, notify them in writing, indicating your desire to cancel. You will receive a full refund if you have not departed on your trip before the communication date.
The GeoBlue Trekker plan is an annual multi-trip medical plan that offers emergency medical coverage while traveling abroad. Trekker covers unlimited trips outside of the U.S. per year with a maximum of 70 days per trip. In addition, the GeoBlue Trekker plan also includes coverage for pre-existing medical conditions for medical services and evacuation. You are required to have primary health coverage; the policy does not need to be a Blue Cross/Blue Shield plan.
