I contacted BlueCard Worldwide. They said I was covered, as did my home policy...I verified that nonemergency care was covered and I w as planning spinal surgery.. Some people depending on policy are only covered for emergency care or doctor visits when traveling, not scheduled surgeries. It's important for BCBS members verify what is covered before planning expensive surgeries. I have not had any reps say I had no coverage. They did say I may only get a 70% rate. Fingers will be crossed when I mail the paperwork.
