Why It Is Important To Get Expat Insurance

Whether consistently travelling for work or play, or making a move overseas on a more permanent basis, it is important to ensure you have adequate medical cover in place. Many people assume that their present policy will cover them for every eventuality; but this is rarely the case.

Most basic healthcare cover will become redundant as soon as you step on the plane out of the country. Whilst European cover is provided to a certain degree for nationals, this is not all encompassing either. This is certainly so for those living in another country on a permanent basis.

Many travellers abroad do not go with any cover at all, and regrettably there have been a host of unpleasant stories as a result. In most cases, these will be financial, though there have been instances when care has been withheld until finance has been secured.

Fortunately, it is possible to get expatriate medical insurance which will provide full and extensive cover. The information requested will be more searching than regular policy questions, though with the full cover provided this is to be expected.

The type of cover provided and options available to add on vary considerably, and can generally be tailored to suit individual needs. The type of cover will also vary on the length of the stay abroad, though can be amended quite simply, in most cases, if necessary.
