Long-Term Expatriate Health Insurance

If you plan to relocate overseas, you will want to consider a long-term expatriate health insurance. Whether you are relocating for a job, retiring, or simply looking for a change of pace, long-term expatriate health insurance is an important consideration especially since the health care system may differ dramatically from what you may be accustomed to.


Some health care systems may have limited resources; others may allow you to go to public facilities requiring an insurance plan to cover private facilities. Knowing about the country you are traveling to and the health care they provide is crucial. Questions to ask yourself, include:

- What will I do if I have an emergency situation in my host country?
– Will I be able to seek treatment in a non-emergency situation?
– What type of doctors and hospitals will I be able to go to?
– Are there doctors and hospitals that I want to go to – will I be able to seek treatment there?
– What happens if I return home and have developed a condition that requires continuous treatment?

You should investigate your options so that you are properly covered at home and abroad. For many, individuals who are relocating overseas choose a long-term expatriate health insurance plan since it will give you flexibility in choosing your doctor or hospital – including at private facilities. Some insurance plans will even cover you when you return home for short or long-term visits, including if you need continuous care at home.
