Practical Checklist for Comparing International Health Insurance

1. Worldwide Coverage

Which countries are covered?

    Are there exclusions for certain countries?

  • Verify that all the regions where you travel or work are covered.

2. Freedom to Choose Healthcare Providers

Can you choose your doctor or hospital?

  • Avoid policies restricting you to specific partner networks.
