Is overseas medical insurance necessary if I am traveling out of the U.S. for a short period only?

AFSPA recommends anyone traveling outside of their home country consider a travel medical insurance option. Whether you choose to purchase one or not will depend on your own health, where you are traveling, what coverage your regular health insurance provides while traveling to other countries, and your own comfort. Others seeking solely travel insurance should see Travel to learn about a specially discounted plan for members.

Who is eligible to apply for coverage?

U.S. Citizens and Foreign Nationals who are Members of Household, which includes domestic partners, parents, in-laws, dependent children age 26 and over, nannies and any other persons who do not qualify for coverage under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP).

Applicants including Foreign Nationals living overseas and applying for coverage in the U.S. or another foreign country must reside outside of the U.S. or that specific country at the time of application. Applicants residing in the U.S. at time of application must depart the U.S. for overseas within 30 days of the Certificate's Effective Date.

For GMI, applicants must be at least 14 days old and not older than 74 years.

For GlobeHopper Senior, applicants must be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents over age 65 (no maximum age limits), qualify for Medicare and be enrolled in a Medicare Parts A & B and a Medicare Supplement plan; or actively enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan.

Am I required to receive treatment solely from medical providers and/or facilities that have an agreement with IMG or Seven Corners?

Outside of the U.S.: treatment can be obtained from any provider and/or facility however, for each plan you will have access to a large international network of providers and many of them have agreed to bill direct for treatment they provide. We recommend you contact the Plan Administrator for a referral.

Inside the U.S.: Each plan offers an extensive network of providers with special network pricing and potential savings for you. You may elect an out of network provider however, coverage is reduced and may incur greater out of pocket expenses.

How long may my coverage be effective?

For GMI, a policy period is 364 days and policies are renewable for up to three (3) years as long as the covered person is eligible.

For GlobeHopper Senior, the covered person can choose the Single-Trip plan that will cover a minimum trip length of 5 days up to 364 days or the Multi-Trip plan that covers multiple trips in a consecutive 12-month period up to a maximum length of 30 days for each trip. *Trip extension available up to 12 months from initial effective date for Single-Trip (see plan brochure for details).

For Liaison Medical Series both the Economy and Choice plans cover a trip length from 5 days up to 364 days. The Elite plan covers 5 days up to 1,092 days and is renewable up to 3 years. You are eligible to extend coverage if you initially purchase less than the maximum trip allowance. Please see plan brochure for details.

What is the cash incentive?

The cash incentive refers to the cash or out of pocket savings you receive as a result of electing in-network or participating providers for medical services. It is not an actual “cash back” benefit.

How do I file a claim?

Simply complete the claim form that you will receive with your ID card(s) and submit it along with all original, itemized bills and receipts to the Plan Administrator within 90 days of service. The contact information for where to remit claims can be found on the I.D. card, claim, in the Plan brochure and on the Plan Administrators website. Claims do not need to be translated or currencies converted. Payments can be converted to a currency of your choosing.
