The Expat HealthCare Plan
Now you can call on fast, flexible 24-hour medical care and protection while living and working abroad.
Providing You with low-cost, high-level, medical expenses protection against unforeseen illness or injury while working away from home.
Being able to call on – and afford – first class healthcare is something we often take for granted when living and working in our own home country. Yet when you and your family are based overseas, it isn't always that simple.
Can you be sure that local medical facilities are adequate, particularly if you need specialised care? Could you afford the cost of emergency hospital treatment or ongoing medical attention? What if you are taken ill while traveling and need immediate treatment?
With the Expat HealthCare Plan, you can overcome all these worries quickly, effectively and affordably. The plan will cover all your medical expenses up to US$1.6million / £1million a year AND protect you anywhere in your selected geographical area, at any time, 365 days a year. All for the cost of a single, inexpensive annual premium.
You can enrol as many members of your immediate family as you wish and you and your family will have 24-hour access to an emergency helpline for immediate medical advice and support.
But most importantly of all, you will have the reassurance of knowing that you will always* be fully covered against the cost of unforeseen illness or injury – in and out of your country of residence** – every minute of the day, every day of the year.
This special plan is only available to you, as an IAPA member, and to your family, as well as to members of our sister organisation, Expat Network.
