Outside the United States

If you live outside the United States, your GEHA coverage travels with you. For your convenience, providers outside the United States are paid at the GEHA preferred provider rate for medically necessary covered services. If you have Medicare Part A and Part B primary, GEHA waives the calendar-year deductible and coinsurance for covered medical services with our Standard, Elevate Plus and High medical plans when you receive medically necessary covered services, even when those services are received overseas.

Contact GEHA
GEHA members outside the United States can call us using a dedicated phone number. In addition, GEHA will accept collect calls from our members overseas.

When calling from outside the United States:

  1. Call the AT&T USADirect access number for the country from which you're calling.
  2. Then, enter our GEHA toll-free number: 877.320.9469. Do not dial a "1" before the 877.

Because time zone differences may make it difficult to reach us, you can access GEHA through this website. We have an email address for the use of our members outside the United States. Send a secure email to GEHA via secured email form by clicking overseas@geha.com.
