You Need Care While Traveling
If you're traveling within the United States, you may use network and out-of-network providers as discussed in "You Have an Emergency."
If you're traveling outside the United States and you're enrolled in KingCareSM, any medical, prescription drug, dental and/or vision care you receive will be treated as an out-of-network service, and you'll need to file a claim for reimbursement. Before traveling abroad, contact KingCareSM to learn what type of information and documentation you may need for filing a claim. At a minimum, you'll need:
  • the name and address of your provider;
  • a complete description of the services provided;
  • a copy of your receipt of payment for services; and
  • your provider's signature.
If you're traveling outside the United States and you're enrolled in Group Health, the plan provides limited out-of-network medical and prescription drug coverage, primarily for emergency or urgent care.
