Don't Leave Things to Chance When Heading Abroad

When people are asked to move to foreign shores with work, or perhaps making the move on a more permanent basis with the family, it can be a shock to discover that policies paid into for a number of years cannot be taken abroad. Unfortunately, many people do not discover this until days from boarding the place or, worse still, when it comes to seeking help.

There are some policies that can be taken abroad, though this should never be assumed of course. As such, ensuring the policy covers international healthcare needs to be determined. In the likelihood this is not the case though, it is important to get covered right with expatriate health insurance.

Settling this too can be somewhat of a minefield, as unsurprisingly each country has its own rules and regulations. Fortunately, there are companies well placed to advise on what is needed. Further than this, it will also be important to determine exactly what cover is required; dependent on age, lifestyle, activities planned and so forth.

Also if there are plans to travel between countries on a regular basis as with many business secondments to Asia for example, the policy will need to be flexible.
