AWAY FROM HOME CARE ® PROGRAM
Program Information
Most HMO’s provide coverage through an emergency room if you need care when you travel. Many Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plans go a step further by offering a Guest Membership through the Away From Home Care Program. A Guest Membership is a courtesy enrollment for members who are temporarily residing outside of their Home HMO service area for at least 90 days. The Away From Home Care Program is available in most states and the District of Columbia.
This benefit is designed to bring you peace of mind if you have one of the following situations:
- Students - Dependent students attending school out-of-state
- Families Apart - Family members living in different HMO service areas
- Long-Term Traveler - Long term work assignment in another state, or retirees with a dual residence
Please contact Blue Cross’ membership department at (302) 421-3400 to see if an HMO is available in the area that the member is interested in. You will need to provide the city, state and zip code of the area the member is interested in order for it to be checked by Blue Cross’ membership department. If an HMO is available, please complete the application and give it to your human resources representative to send or fax to Blue Cross’ membership department. The coverage effective date will be 15 days from the date Blue Cross receives the application.
