Can I get temporary coverage when traveling?

Wellmark Blue Cross/Blue Shield offers options for travelers needing temporary coverage while they are away from their home base. Typically, individuals can consider purchasing a short-term travel insurance plan that may cover emergency medical expenses, trip cancellations, and other unforeseen incidents occurring while traveling. These plans usually cater to specific timeframes, allowing for flexibility based on the traveler's needs. While Wellmark does not specifically provide temporary travel coverage directly through their plans, it is wise to explore external options or supplemental policies that work alongside existing Wellmark coverage. Travelers should also verify the details of their current Wellmark plans since some may include limited out-of-state or international coverage, particularly in emergency situations. It is important for travelers to review their healthcare needs and any potential risks associated with their destinations. The Wellmark website often contains useful resources and information on coverage options. For personalized assistance or further inquiries, travelers could refer to the contact information provided on the Wellmark website to find guidance relevant to their specific circumstances.
