Why Choose GeoBlue Navigator?
The GeoBlue Navigator health plan meets the needs of international students and faculty by offering comprehensive worldwide benefits—inside and outside the U.S.—without the typical limits, eligibility conditions, and benefit exclusions common among traditional plans.
GeoBlue Navigator is the premier health plan for students and faculty because it combines these benefits with concierge-level medical assistance and easy access to the Blue Cross and Blue Shield provider network, the largest provider network in the U.S., and an elite community of carefully selected providers outside the U.S. GeoBlue Navigator gives students and faculty peace of mind, knowing they have the freedom to access top medical care no matter where their studies or assignments take them.
Does GeoBlue offer coverage for assignments shorter than 3 months?

Easy Access to an Elite International Provider Community
Strength of the Blue Brands in the U.S.
GeoBlue members have cashless access to the Blue Cross and Blue Shield network in all fifty states.
More than 95% of physicians and more than 96% of hospitals across the U.S. are a part of the BlueCard Network.
Outside the U.S.
GeoBlue has a network of doctors that includes almost every specialty you may need in over 190 countries.
Only a small fraction of doctors around the world meet GeoBlue standards – participation is by invitation only. We seek out professionals certified by the American or Royal Board of Medical Specialties who speak English, and we factor in recommendations from over 169 Physician Advisors from all over the world. Then we assemble in-depth profiles so our members can choose with confidence, and we put formal contracts in place to ensure patient access. Once they’ve seen you, GeoBlue doctors bill us directly, so you don’t have to file a claim.
Emergency Evacuation and Centers of Excellence
GeoBlue coordinates emergency services with a worldwide network of contracted Regional Physician Advisors as well as air ambulance operators selected for their safety records. Members in need of life-saving medical intervention are treated in Centers of Excellence in the U.S. and around the world whenever possible. Around-the-Clock Assistance Call Center GeoBlue maintains a 24/7, toll-free call center to assist GeoBlue members with everything from routine requests to medical emergencies. The GeoBlue staff has years of experience with international medical assistance and has close working relationships with our International Provider Community.
