We have created a quick guide to help you understand the differences.
International Health Insurance
International health insurance gives you access to private healthcare services across the globe, often used by those living in one or multiple countries for over 3 months.
It covers you for much more than basic emergency healthcare needs, such as:
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is generally used by people traveling abroad for less than 3 months. Often used for holidays or short trips to one country.
The policy usually offers short term cover for:
Local Health Insurance
Local health insurance (also known as domestic health insurance) covers private healthcare expenses in one country – usually the country of residence. It is limited to the country or region where the policy is issued and used by resident who do not need international cover.
With our Flexible Cover, we can cover you for less than 12 months with the same level of cover as the Foundation or Standard international health insurance - just for less time.
Unlike travel insurance, a short-term international health plan will cover your general health as well as emergencies. That means you’re covered if you need to have a scan or break your leg – you won’t need to wait until you get home to get the treatment you need.
Choose any time period from 3 to 11 months and only pay for the cover you need. That means you don’t need to spend money on an annual policy when you won’t need to use it for the whole year.
With our global health plans, you don’t have to rely on public healthcare systems, which can be tricky to access when you’re abroad. If you need to claim, we can often pay the provider directly. So, you can avoid surprise healthcare bills and instead pay a regular, predictable premium - monthly, quarterly or annually.
