Coverage When You Travel

With Excellus BCBS, there's no need to worry about your coverage if you get sick or injured while traveling. With the BlueCard Program, you have access to a robust, nationwide provider network. Search national providers or global providers.

If you have our prescription drug coverage and need to fill a prescription while traveling, you can use our National Pharmacy Network. There are more than 50,000 pharmacies that participate in your Excellus BCBS plan and will electronically file your prescription claim. This means less out-of-pocket cost to you, and less hassle because there's no need to fill out paperwork.
