For people working overseas, there can be many hidden pitfalls to do with the cost of health care. Not purchasing the right sort of cover before leaving home can result in individuals having to pay very costly medical bills out of their own pocket. Expatriates can even face problems when returning home for
a holiday.
In addition to having access to many of the worlds major international health Insurers, Marsh has developed the International Expatriate Health Plan in consultation with insurers QBE Insurance Group.
The Plan is specifically designed to enable organisations to provide comprehensive international health cover for expatriate employees.
The Plan offers an extensive range of Hospital, Medical, Dental, and Ancillary benefits for members and their families in order to protect them against the high cost of hospital treatment, doctors, and specialist fees while working overseas. The Plan also provides cover in their home country.
Australians face unique problems due to Australian health legislation relating to Medicare and Lifetime Health Cover. Returning home can result in having to start from scratch with 12 month waiting periods, a loss of lifetime insurance eligibility if the correct cover is not maintained whilst overseas, and problems with cover for health services when they are home on holiday.
The Expatriate Health Plan enables Australians to have a smooth re-entry to the health system when they return home, as well as cover when they are home on holiday.
The Plan has no territorial restrictions. It provides 24-hour, worldwide cover, as well as global emergency assistance, and flexible options to meet all expenses incurred either through illness or injury.
Over 300 major international corporations use this Plan to provide cover for expatriate employees of all nationalities.
