Overall Rating: 3.7 / 5 (Very good)

GeoBlue has been offering travel insurance since 1997, and is a licensee of Blue Cross Blue Shield.

The company offers different policy options based on the length of the trip and the number of benefits you might need, which can help you save money.

What we particularly like about GeoBlue’s services, is the ease with which customers can get a quote and apply online.

Another key feature of GeoBlue’s plans is that members can submit paperless claims and track their progress online.

GeoBlue rounds out their travel insurance offering with 24/7 worldwide assistance, and a handy application that helps travelers before, during, and after their trip.

GeoBlue Plans & Coverage

Coverage - 4 / 5

GeoBlue offers a variety of plans and coverages that will surely meet any traveler's needs.

Along with the standard trip cancelation, medical, and baggage packages, GeoBlue also goes the extra mile to offer comprehensive coverage, accidental death policies, and group plans.

The company also has contracted with doctors and hospitals in many countries around the world, but obviously it is up to the customer to confirm GeoBlue will be able to provide services at their destination.

GeoBlue Financial Strength

Financial Strength - 3.5 / 5

GeoBlue is a licensee of Blue Cross Blue Shield, an organization that collectively insures 100 million members.

The Blue Brand is still the largest healthcare brand, with providers in more than 180 countries outside the U.S. and with 90% of hospitals and 80% of physicians participating in the United States.

So customers can be confident their claims will be honored and services can be provided in most countries. As the larger Blue Cross Blue Shield conglomerate is comprised of over 30 insurance companies, it is difficult to judge the financial strength rating as a whole.

However, AM Best has awarded the majority of its companies with an A+ rating.

The organization as a whole has been operating for close to 90 years, which is significantly longer than many of the other travel insurance providers we rate.

I have been using GeoBlue for almost 3 years now. I got them for their international coverage bc I study abroad. So far they have been very reliable. I have only used them for Rx and for doctor's visit when I am in the US during school breaks. You have to pay out of pocket for Rx and submit claim where they reimburse 100%. Doctor's visits they pay directly. I am on 2500 plan which means my deductible is $2500 and I pay approx $170/mo. I wish they had a less expensive plan though.
