Question: Does anyone have any experiences using Bupa International Health Insurance?
Is it truly international and do hospitals in the U.S. recognize it? Also, wondering if there is any other international health plans out there to replace my Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Typically, international health plans are on a REIMBURSEMENT basis – not a “pay on behalf of” basis.

You’ll really have to call the hospital/provider, to see if they “take” Bupa, but as it’s most likely reimbursement, it isn’t going to matter much where you go.
