International Medical

Rarely do we give a thought of having adequate medical insurance coverage until we actually need it, and then it is often too late. Don't make the mistake of waiting, particularly when moving to a new country! One of the most important criteria when relocating to a new country is the accessibility and quality of medical care. Each person has individual health maintenance needs, but we recommend reducing the financial risk as a result of a terminal illness or accident which requires ongoing medical care.

Until you are comfortable utilizing the national or social health care system, buy a short-term international major medical policy. It is inexpensive and you can pay for it on a month to month basis. After you have relocated find a local doctor or primary physician you are comfortable with and review your medical needs. Many expatriates find adequate local medical care but still prefer an international health insurance policy which gives them the choice to choose any doctor they wish, including private hospitals and medical practitioners, as well as the option of returning to the US for medical treatment. Feel free to call us with your needs. We can also tell you if there are English speaking doctors at your destination along with their credentials. You can reach us toll free at 800.647.4589 with the US or Canada or 001.480.821.9052 worldwide. Feel free to email us at health@globalcitizeninsurance.com.
