Being prepared for a life overseas
Considering a job overseas? Your friends often make it sound easy and glamorous. However most do not do it for the glamour. We usually have less glamorous reasons: relationships, adventure, longing for a different culture, a new experience, a new lifestyle. These are but a few of the reasons why we become expats. But one element all expats have in common is that it usually takes something extra to stay overseas longer than a year.
Another item that expats have in common is that although we are a diverse lot and loathe to be compartmentalized we have unique needs in common when it comes to health insurance.
Does a local plan work for us? Not usually.
All too often local plans don't account for our mobility. Once we catch the bug we are more likely to stay overseas but not necessarily in the same country. Nor does a local plan take into account that we may expect a different level of medical care then they are prepared to give. We want to receive medical care on our terms not theirs. If we want to receive treatment somewhere else such as back home or in another country then we want to be able to do just that.
We tend to travel more and expose ourselves to different situations than our home based counterparts. Hence we become more demanding of service. Yet sometimes we feel the most vulnerable.
Integra Global's Personal Health plan was designed by expats for expats. Our international health cover is designed to give you the best possible cover at an affordable price.
We know what counts when it comes to building a health insurance plan for your time overseas.
We started with a full comprehensive lifestyle health plan. Complete in-patient and out-patient cover. You won't find limits on items such as out-patient care, chronic conditions or prescription drugs. Because should you become ill, these are the benefits that can improve the quality of your life.
We added benefits such as generous maternity cover, wellness benefits, and optical care.
But we didn't stop there as we understood that expats need more protection than most. We added medical evacuation, direct billing to overseas providers and foreign currency reimbursement.
Finally, we added service touches that make it easier for you to take advantage of your health plan, such as toll-free access to our 24/7 hotline in over 30 countries worldwide.
