In today’s mobile workforce, sending employees abroad isn’t just a perk — it’s a business necessity. But what happens when they get sick overseas? Who pays for care? And can they access quality doctors without breaking the bank? That’s where 2025 Blue Shield Global Expat Plans come in. These international health insurance plans are built specifically for employees living or working outside their home country for six months or longer.
Skyline Benefit is a trusted group health insurance broker in California, helping businesses of all sizes implement Blue Shield Global Expat Plans for globally mobile teams with ease and confidence.
What Are 2025 Blue Shield Global Expat Plans?
Blue Shield Global Expat Plans are long-term international health insurance solutions that provide comprehensive medical coverage for employees working abroad. Unlike travel insurance or short-term plans, these are primary health policies designed to meet the ongoing care needs of expatriates and their families.
Who Needs a Global Expat Plan in 2025?
These plans are ideal for:
- U.S. companies sending employees on international assignments
- Foreign nationals working in the United States (Inpats)
- Third-country nationals (TCNs) placed in a country outside their origin and employer base
- Global teams in sectors like tech, energy, education, and NGOs
If your employees are away for six months or more, a global expat health plan is essential—not just for compliance but also to support employee well-being and business continuity.
