Coverage anywhere in the world

No coverage based on U.S. sanctions: If U.S. economic or trade sanctions consider you a blocked person, the plan cannot provide benefits to you. If your health care provider is a blocked person or is in a sanctioned country, we cannot pay for services from that provider. For example, if you receive care while traveling in another country and the health care provider is a blocked person or is in a sanctioned country, the plan cannot pay for those services.
