The Worldwide Specialty Education Plan is a comprehensive health insurance offering worldwide coverage for international students, study abroad students, faculty, and dependents. The plan includes a wide array of benefits, including unlimited coverage, hospitalization, medical evacuation/repatriation, mental health and wellness/preventative care.
The Worldwide Specialty Education Plan is medically underwritten, which means you will need to answer medical questions, and if requested, you will need to provide medical records. Based on your answers and your medical history, BCBS Global Solutions will evaluate your medical background and decide how to cover any pre-existing conditions. This process takes approximately 3 business days to be reviewed.
The plan is part of the BCBS Global Solutions network, which has an elite network of doctors from most specialties ready to see you in over 180 countries. These doctors, hospitals and clinics have agreed to accept direct payment from BCBS Global Solutions.
BCBS Global Solutions offers telemedicine access through the TeleMD app. Members can speak to a doctor at a time that fits their schedule and in their language of preference over the phone or online.
