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 cover
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 take it by your own, be aware that it can
be very expensive.
