How Overseas Benefits Work
Benefits for covered services are paid at the Preferred level. Physician care performed outside the U.S. is paid at the Preferred level using our Overseas Fee Schedule or a provider-negotiated amount. Before you get care, call the Overseas Assistance Center to set up a guarantee of benefits in advance so you won’t get a bill or have to file a claim.
