International health insurance is a solution designed to support employees who travel abroad frequently or are abroad for long periods of time and want to be sure that they are covered for any medical needs. It is not the same as travel insurance, as it provides a more durable and comprehensive multi-country medical cover.

Travel insurance is a solution which covers cancelled or delayed flights, lost items such as personal belongings and has a limited element of medical treatment. If your employees travel abroad frequently (more than 5 times per year) or are abroad for long periods of time and want to be sure that they are covered for any medical needs, then international health insurance may be the right solution for your business.

One of the main benefits of an international healthcare plan is that your employees can avail of the policy in many different countries. An international healthcare plan can also provide cover for evacuation and repatriation. If necessary treatment isn’t available locally, your employees have the option to be taken back to their home country (repatriation) or to a medical centre in another country (evacuation) for treatment.

Another option for your business is our Emergency Medical Cover for Business Travelers. Specially designed for employers who want to cover the emergency medical needs of their staff while they work abroad.

This plan covers acute medical emergencies abroad, when employees are outside of their country of residence and of  employment, for up to 90 or 180 travel days per insurance year. It provides reassurance that if the unexpected happens, your employees will have access to the best care possible.
