Introducing Globaline™
Best-in-Class Expat Health and Ancillary Insurance in a Single Solution
It’s here! GeoBlue and MetLife Worldwide Benefits have joined forces to deliver Globaline. This comprehensive suite of health, life and long term disability (LTD) products and services is built with expat employees in mind. Globaline is easy to administer and is the only offering in the international health insurance space that includes MetLife’s life, disability and value added services.
Globaline offers a centralized approach with a single point of contact every step of the way—from account servicing to implementation through to enrollment, billing and renewal. It is now easier than ever to administer best-in-class health and ancillary benefits by bringing together the offerings of two global benefits leaders in one single solution. Globaline provides simplicity—without sacrificing quality or expertise—so you and your clients can get the best of both worlds.
New business quotes for Globaline are available now for groups with effective dates starting on or after January 1, 2025.

An Interview with GeoBlue on the Current State of International Healthcare
Since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a significant increase in international travel. According to an article from the United Nations Tourism organization, international travel will reach pre-pandemic levels in 2024. This also holds true for outbound business travel. An analyst for Yahoo! Finance predicts that 220.12 million outbound business trips will occur in 2024 and grow to 276.6 million by 2026. This increase in international business travel is extremely costly, and ensuring your employers can provide comprehensive health and safety resources to their employees is crucial.

| Increase of business travel is impacting related industries, one of them being the travel risk management industry. Natural disasters, political strife and other dangers may cause the need for emergency evacuations from international locations. The need for travel risk management services is crucial. According to an article from travelandtourworld.com, the travel risk management industry was valued at $96.26 billion in 2021, and will grow to over $220 billion by 2031. This financial growth reflects the need for security and safety services for the globally mobile. Our partner, Crisis24, helps our members feel safe and secure if an emergency does occur. |
