Why Choose International Health Insurance Plans

Moving abroad to live or work, discovering new cultures and people… Expatriation is a memorable experience of a lifetime. Expatriation requires preparation in advance, there is no room for improvisation. In this preparation, international expat health insurance is essential and should not be forgotten or taken lightly. We explain why.

Focus on the Canadian health care system

The publicly funded health care system in Canada is called Medicare. The Canadian Health Act provides for a universal health care system that guarantees every citizen or resident access to care. As a federal state, the law delegates to the provinces and territories the provision and management of health care. Thus, there is no single national scheme, but 13 provincial and territorial health insurance schemes.

The Canadian health care system is reputed to be one of the best in the world. The standard of care is quite high, the medical staff is well-trained and there is a good network of quality public and private hospitals. Nevertheless, many treatments involve long waiting times…

The advantage of taking out international health insurance, apart from the fact that it works in all countries, is that it is necessary for people who are not eligible for the public health system, such as people with visitor status who stay several months in Canada

What are the advantages of expat health insurance?

In order to protect your health, taking out expatriate insurance is essential. Why is this? Because when you decide to expatriate, you lose the health coverage in your home country. This means that in the event of an accident or hospitalization, you will have to pay the full cost, which can be very expensive. This is why expat health insurance is essential. Taking out expat health insurance is usually not compulsory, but we highly recommended it. However, for certain countries, it can be compulsory to obtain a visa.

For whom is Health Insurance for?

Health insurance for expats is for people living and working abroad. This international health insurance gives you and your family peace of mind and access to the best care worldwide.

International Health Insurance Benefits

The essential benefits of expat health insurance are the following:

  • Hospitalization
  • Routine medical care
  • Pharmacy
  • Repatriation assistance
  • Personal liability

Access to Healthcare

By taking out expat health insurance, you will have access to private healthcare. In some countries, there is a real distinction between the quality of care in public and private hospitals. In the public system, waiting times are generally very long and the quality of healthcare can be lower.

That said, access to private medical structures means expensive. To compensate for this, it is essential to take out private health insurance, avoiding very high expenses and being able to receive quality care.
