Our verdict
GeoBlue suits expats and long stay travellers who want international health cover with monthly payments, plus travel cover in the same range. Entry premiums start at $2, and Single Trip plans set cover limits per insured person per policy period, so the cheapest premiums pair with the lowest limits.

Frequently asked questions
How much does GeoBlue cost?+
Premiums start at $2, under the €8.31 median across the site, and the Single Trip excess starts at $0. Higher cover limits and longer stays cost more, so the entry figure suits lighter cover rather than every trip.
Who regulates GeoBlue?+
GeoBlue trades as Worldwide Insurance Services, LLC, an insurer rather than a broker, and its US regulator is the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association. Cover sits with a named legal entity headquartered in the United States and founded in 1997.
What does a GeoBlue policy cover?+
Cover limits are set per insured person per policy period on Single Trip plans, and the range covers health and travel insurance for the same policyholder. Entry ages run from 6-95, and the audience is expats.
Can I pay monthly?+
Monthly payments are available on the worldwide living abroad plans, listed under monthly, so a long stay policy is spread across the year rather than paid in one amount. That suits expats who earn monthly and prefer not to commit a large sum up front.
How do I make a claim?+
Claims can start through mobile app and phone, and support runs on phone, email and help centre, which adds email and a help centre alongside phone. Live chat is not listed among those channels, so the app or phone is the quickest route for a bill while receiving treatment.
Is GeoBlue only for expats?+
The stated audience is expats, and the products are aimed at people living or travelling outside their home country. Someone looking for pet, home or motor cover will not find it in health and travel, which covers health and travel only.
