International medical insurance schemes are designed for people who are living
or working outside their country of residence for at least six months of the
year. Schemes are either sold to individuals directly or are offered to employees
by their employers. Insurance should be flexible enough to enable the insured
to take the coverage with them as they move from one country to another.
Typically structured over a 12-month period insurance covers acute medical
treatment for illness or injury. In addition, many products offer, either as
part of the standard benefit or an optional extra, a range of other benefits
including; cover for GP consultations, routine and emergency dental treatment,
optical cover, home nursing, evacuation cover, personal accident insurance,
and critical illness.
Often expatriate employers provide a private medical insurance as part of an
employee benefit package. If you want to suscribe to insurance on your own,
be aware that it can be very expensive.
