Are You Planning a Trip in 2026? PIA Has You Covered
Are you looking to escape somewhere warmer? Planning a long-awaited excursion across Europe? Visiting family overseas?
MSMS Physicians Insurance Agency (PIA) has you covered. PIA partners with Blue Cross Blue Shield Global Solutions to provide emergency health coverage abroad for physicians and their families.
BCBS Global Solutions provides global care in more than 190 counties by helping you find trusted local physicians to coordinate care and manage unexpected medical emergencies Enrolled members can select from available deductible and out-of-pocket maximums that fit your specific needs. Global Solutions will assist with finding providers within the Global Solutions network, process and pay claims upfront as a primary payor, and when applicable contact your primary insurance carrier to coordinate benefits. Having an in-network coverage option reduces up-front out-of-pocket costs, rather than having to deal with out-of-network providers that you pay and then wait for possible reimbursement from your normal health insurance carrier. The coverage provides you with 24/7, 365 days per year of coverage, and may be purchased as a single trip or multi-trip policy.
Coverages include medical evacuation, in-patient hospitalization, surgery, anesthesia, office visits, x-rays, telehealth, and even dental care due to injury at 100 percent along with many other services.
One MSMS member and PIA client shares, “Having affordable health insurance for added coverage should an injury, illness or medical emergency arise gives me and my family peace of mind when traveling. I am grateful PIA can provide this coverage in addition to my regular health policy.”
