Expat Medical Insurance

Expatriate Private Medical Insurance is designed to cover the costs of private medical aid in foreign countries and provide you with the vital benefit of Emergency Medical Evacuation and Repatriation should it be required.

If something goes wrong, you want immediate access to on site medical professionals that can coordinate all aspects of an evacuation, and cover expenses that could cost you up to £100,000 or more.

• The mortgage will still need to be paid
  
• The bills will continue to drop through your letterbox
  
• You may need to pay for ongoing medical attention
  

In general, Expatriate Private Medical Insurance policies do not cover the treatment of long-term illnesses which cannot be cured, such as asthma, diabetes, or multiple sclerosis (such conditions are commonly referred to as 'chronic illness'). However, if a crisis occurs in one of these conditions, for example a severe asthma attack or diabetic coma, then most Private Medical Insurance policies will cover the cost of treatment necessary to stabilize the crisis and to return the patient to their previous level of health, if possible.

Leaving your home country for any length of time exposes you to the exciting challenge of international living. The last thing you need to feel during your stay abroad is any uncertainty in the quality and cost of medical assistance.

Expatriate Medical Insurance is also an essential tool that puts you in control of when and where you will be treated. This will ensure that you will avoid delays that can affect your performance financially and physically.
