Individual and Family Health Plan FAQs
Does my health insurance policy cover me while I’m traveling within the United States?
Generally speaking, your policy will cover an Emergency Room visit if travelling domestically. However, if you are in need of non-emergent care, please call the Customer Service number on the back of your ID Card in order to be directed to an in-network facility. Always refer to your Summary of Benefits and Coverage for detailed information about your plan benefits.
Does my health policy cover me while traveling internationally?
The coverage is very limited for interntational travel. An emergency doctor visit may be covered however most expenses are not. We offer Individual International Plans that provide better coverage while out of the country.
Can I pay my premiums online?
Yes. The free IBX Mobile App lets you pay your premium on the go with your Apple or Android smartphone. Each month, you can view the amount due, enter your bank account or prepaid debit card information and submit your payment. Just tap Member Services, and select Pay My Bill.
I did not receive my invoice before my effective date of coverage. What should I do?
