Wherever life takes you

Global support for people who think a little bigger

If your life’s journey is taking you further afield, we’re set up to help. We can help you to get fast access to expert medical care, whenever and wherever you need it – from a routine checkup to a lengthy hospital stay. 

So whichever dream you’re following, whatever happens on the way, you can rely on us to be there for you.

Because we’re the global healthcare specialists for AXA, one of the world’s leading insurers – a business that people have relied on for support and protection for over 55 years. This is what we do each and every day. And we know what we’re doing. 

Wherever life takes you: we’ll be here if you need us.

Simple, reliable cover – wherever you are

Healthcare costs in other countries can be a shock. Even a simple fall could leave you facing a surprisingly high bill.

With international health insurance, you pay a predictable monthly premium, which you can tailor to match your needs and your budget. And if something does happen, you’ll have the reassurance of knowing help is only a simple call away.

In another country long-term?

Our international health plan offers superb cover, giving you access to private healthcare when you need it - so you don't have to rely on the state system.

Choose this if you’re:

  • living or working in another country
  • an expat
  • living or working in more than one country.

Short-term international health insurance has all the cover of our regular plan, but for just as long as you need it. 

Choose this if you:

  • are living or working abroad for less than a year
  • don’t know if you’ll need 12 months of cover
  • need cover while you apply to your new local healthcare system.
