Preparing for the Worst, Supported by the Best If you are a generally healthy person who never usually needs to go to the doctor, let alone the hospital, you might not have considered your health insurance needs when preparing to go and live abroad. With free healthcare on the NHS, it is easy to overlook this area and just assume that you will be covered in the same way in your new country of choice should something happen and you need medical attention. Unfortunately, many countries are not so keen to offer their healthcare services out to UK expats for free. It is no use taking the gamble and hoping that you won’t get ill or suffer an accident while living abroad, because if this were to happen the price is costly. Being ill in a foreign country is hard enough as it is when you don’t know the procedures or systems, and the last thing you want is a hefty bill to add into the mix. This is why you need expat health insurance, which will cover you should the unfortunate happen. Just as you wouldn’t drive your car without the right insurance, nor should you go abroad for significant lengths of time without the right international medical insurance. Expatriate Healthcare offer three different levels of cover to meet different requirements, all at affordable prices, so you and your family can have peace of mind while you are living abroad. All of their plans are underwritten by AXA Assistance, one of the world’s largest assistance companies.
