7 Best International Health Insurances for Expats & Immigrants

If you’re moving or living abroad, then you need expat/international health insurance! But there’s a lot of insurance options out there, so it’s hard to know what to choose. Check out this article to learn about the best options (with pros & cons) and see tables comparing the most important features of each insurance plan.

 

 

So you’re going to live abroad….congrats! Happy for you!

Living, working, or going to school in a foreign country can be an exciting experience. And you’ll join thousands of people just like you who have the chance to explore the world outside of their home countries. But as you make plans to get that visa and schedule that doctor’s visit for vaccinations, there’s another important thing you want to make sure you don’t forget about: expat/international health insurance.

 

Update regarding Health Insurance for Expats and Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Most of you are already aware of the new coronavirus (also known as COVID-19 pandemic). And I so guess a lot of you are asking yourselves if your international health insurance covers you if you catch coronavirus.

Well, I’m not a doctor, a scientist, and I don’t work for a health insurance company. But from my research, there are usually 2 cases where you are covered by your international health insurance for expats if you contract Coronavirus:

1) You will be covered by virtually all health insurance companies and plans up to the moment you go to the hospital or doctor with flu-kind of symptoms and get your first treatment. If you’re diagnosed with coronavirus, then some health insurance policies might not cover you depending on which country you are. 

2) Since the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic, some international health insurances have exceptions in their coverage. Others follow the CDC (Center for Disease and Control) guidelines for countries with level 3 warnings. 

To know more about COVID-19 pandemic coverage from the international health insurance companies mentioned below (Signa, IMG, Seven corners), please check my article Does International Health and Travel Insurance cover Coronavirus (COVID-19)?

What is expat/international health insurance?

International health insurance for expats and immigrants covers your medical expenses while you’re living in another country long-term. Usually, it’ll cover you for a wide range of healthcare – from medical emergencies to just preventative healthcare.

 

 

As you’ll see down below, this is NOT the same as travel insurance and it’s not something you’ll want to skip.

Why do I need international medical insurance for expats and immigrants?

Just like you need health insurance at home, you also need health insurance if you plan on living in another country for more than 6 months. And many countries also require proof of medical insurance before they grant you a visa or work permit (you’ll find more about this in the “expat/international health insurance for immigration” section down below).

While you’re living abroad, you’ll still need to have regular physicals, treat any health issues when they come up, and have a plan in place in case you have a health emergency. So you will need a medical insurance that works overseas.

You may be able to get healthcare through an employer if you are being sent to another country to work, but not always. So, make sure you check with the company to find out if they have an international health plan in place for you and your family.

The good news is that you can buy an immigrant/expat insurance plan that mimics the coverage you have already at home and will give you comprehensive health coverage worldwide.

All of these international health plans I recommend below can be modified whether you are a single traveler or need family coverage.

Why can’t I just make sure I’m healthy before I leave?

Hopefully, you’ll visit your doctor before you leave your home country. But you also need to take care of yourself while you’re away. And if you have pre-existing conditions or are on maintenance medications, they won’t be covered in another country.

And as we all know…accidents happen (I broke my toe once in South Korea, I’ve met travelers who fell off their skateboard, anyone who’s spent time abroad has probably encountered food poisoning, etc.). So you want to make sure you’re covered when they do.

 
Why can’t I just keep the health insurance I already have at home?

Your health insurance from back home won’t cover you while you live in another country long-term. And if you aren’t a citizen of the country you will be moving to, you won’t be covered by its public healthcare system.

Can I just use travel insurance for healthcare while living abroad?

In general, no. Travel insurance is typically purchased for stays that are less than 6 months in a single country (although you can get longer plans for several countries if you’re a tourist).

Here’s a bit more info on travel insurance versus expat/international health insurance below.

Difference between travel insurance & expat/international health insurance

Travel insurance:

• Is for tourists or people who are just traveling, not living in a new country
• Usually only covers medical emergencies that happen overseas (and won’t usually cover things like basic preventative care)
• May also cover things like lost baggage and canceled flight (depending on your policy)
• Is sometimes required to travel to certain areas (like the European Schengen Area)

 

To learn more about travel insurance, check out our article with the 3 Best and Cheapest Travel Insurance Companies.

 

Expat/international/immigrant/overseas health insurance:

• Is for people moving abroad or living long-term in another country
• Works like your normal insurance from back home would
• Covers more than just emergency medical care (such as preventative care, dental, or vision)
• Can cover things like pregnancy, cancer treatment, or mental health services (depending on the plans)
• Is often a requirement to apply for visas or resident permits
• You can keep renewing it as long as you are overseas. Having international health insurance that carries over is essential for those looking to permanently relocate abroad

 
Expat/international health insurance for immigration and applying for residence permits/visa

In most countries, to get a temporary or permanent resident visa, you will need to prove that you are covered by some kind of international health insurance (and no, they won’t just accept travel insurance).

We all know immigration can be a bit tricky, so make sure the expat/international health insurance policy you are buying meets the immigration office requirements of the country you are moving to. You may be able to find this info online, otherwise, you’ll probably want to contact them directly.

 

Personal experience using expat/international health insurance for immigration in Sweden (hint: it’s not always easy):

When Nikki moved to Sweden from the United States, she needed to prove to the immigration that she was covered by an international health insurance to get her temporary residence permit. She bought a policy from one of the companies below, and it was accepted by immigration.

But then when she applied for her tax number through the Swedish tax office and needed to show proof of international health insurance again, this same policy wasn’t accepted and she had to purchase a new one with a different company.

If this is an issue you think you might run into, be sure to look into the cancellation policies of each insurance company. Then, even if immigration rejects the insurance plan you have, you won’t lose too much by canceling your current plan and buying a new one. 

What should I look for in an overseas healthcare plan for expatriates?

While the plan you choose will depend on the kind of coverage you need while you live as an immigrant/expat, here are some of the basic things they should include:

• Adequate yearly benefit maximums
• Flexibility in plans and prices
• Wellness care and emergency care
• Inpatient and outpatient hospital visits
• A large network of doctors and medical facilities to choose from
• Multilingual and 24/7 customer service

 

We’ve compared our three favorite expat/immigration insurance options for you to check out below. All offer basic coverage for inpatient care and routine doctor’s visits, emergency evacuations, and 24/7 customer service.

Dental and vision will cost you more. If you are pregnant or plan on expanding your family while you’re in another country, you’ll have to buy the most expensive plans.

And just remember that the less expensive your plan is, the less coverage you’ll get.

So, make sure that you do your research in order to find the right plan that works for you.

Who do these international health insurances work for?

For these citizens living abroad as expats or immigrants:

• Americans
• Canadians
• Australians
• Chinese
• Germans
• French
• Argentinians

• New Zealanders

For expats/immigrants living in:

• The United States
• Canada

• Sweden
• Spain
• Portugal
• France (European Union/Schengen Area as a whole)

And for expats living in almost any other country in the world

In other words, no matter your citizenship or which country you are moving to, most of these international health plans will work for you since they are truly global insurances.

 

Some questions to ask yourself before you buy expat/international medical insurance:

Do you need a private room if you’re admitted to a hospital?

Are you planning on starting a family or expanding your family?

Do you have any pre-existing conditions or are you on any medications you need to continue while living in another country?

Are you willing to pay a higher deductible for lower premiums?

 

Note: If you aren’t really an expat/immigrant but an international student at a school or college/university overseas, then I suggest you take a look at my article with the 3 Best and Cheapest Health Insurance for International Students and Exchanges/Study Abroad.

• Their website has info about your host country’s finance system, culture, and schools

 

What I didn’t like:

• You have to give a lot of personal information before you can get a quote.
• The basic plan doesn’t cover maternity care (so you’ll need a purchase a more expensive policy if you plan to have a baby while abroad)

 

 

 
    2. IMG   

   

IMG sells several kinds of insurance. From travel insurance to health insurance for students to insurance for crew members and, obviously, insurance for expatriates. So when searching on their website, look for health insurance for “Expat / Global Citizen.”

• Basic plan doesn’t cover maternity and even their most expensive plan only covers deliveries and newborn care after you’ve been enrolled for at least 10 months

 

COVID-19 is considered by the company as any other illness or injury, subject to the terms and conditions of the policy.

 

    3. Now Health International

What I don’t like:

  4. Allianz Worldwide Care

German company Allianz is one of the  biggest players in the world of insurance. So obviously, we can’t leave them out of the list when writing about options for international health insurance companies. 

 

 

Here are a few of the things that I appreciate and didn’t like about Allianz. 

What I liked: 

• They have 24/7 international customer support 
• Quite often, you don’t pay the healthcare provider directly (Allianz pays them directly for your treatment so you don’t need to request reimbursement)

• You get access to a medical app that can help in the prevention and treatment of health problems (it’s available after 6 months of your contract and expenses up to €50 are covered) 
• They have a specific program for expats or immigrants, where they help you in a number of different ways that goes beyond medical care
• Their expat insurance includes tips for health living on your own, with your family, or how to deal with a country’s specific challenges 

What I didn’t like: 

• Allianz don’t have many options for plans

 

   5. Safety Wing

Safety Wing is one of the largest companies for overseas health insurance, whether for students, digital nomads, and, of course, expats. Their site is easy to use and you can get a quote for their plans based on your age, length of stay, and countries covered. 

 

What I like:

• They cover insurance for children under 10 without any additional costs 
• You can get 24/7 customer support anywhere in the world

What I didn’t like:

• You need to create a login and fill out a lot of information before getting a quote 
• Quotes don’t show all fees 

 

Safety Wing also covers COVID-19 in their expat insurance plans. And as of August 1st, 2020, this coverage is available for their nomad plans. 

However, COVID-19 tests are only covered when they are deemed necessary by a doctor. Antibody tests, on the other hand, are never covered as they are not medically necessary.

 

     6. Foyer Global Health

Part of the Foyer Group, a huge European enterprise, Global Health is specialized in many types of insurance – from travel insurance to expat and student insurance. Beyond being a reliable and well-known company, it may also have the largest variety of personalized plans for you to choose from.

• It’s very easy and quick to get a quote – minimal personal information needed 
• There are options for deductibles 
• It’s possible to get short-term plans if you don’t plan to stay long in another country  
• It’s possible to do a comparison between the plans to decide which is right for you 
• They offer health coverage options for expats all over Europe 

 

What I didn’t like: 

• The coverage for the most simple and basic plans leaves out many things like maternity care and newborn care 
• The customer service, although it seems to work fine, isn’t as straightforward as the others on this list 
• The website isn’t so clear about what is/isn’t covered and the limits 
• The website gives a lot of info about coronavirus, but it isn’t clear if any of their plans do/don’t cover tests of COVID-19 complications 
• They charge a 5 euro fee for emergency support 

 

     7. Global Underwriters

Another good insurance option for expatriates and immigrants is Global Underwriters, they have been in the market for years offering differentiated plans for travelers from all over the world.
