The perfect alternative for those without insurance.
As medical inflation and policy premiums continue to rise, the capacity of expats to cope with unforeseen medical expenses has become more and more challenging.
Some expats are finding it difficult to keep insurance for the following reasons:
-
They’re over 65 years old and the cost is too high.
-
They’ve raised their deductibles to amounts that could impact their pocket should they need to cover it.
-
They’ve exceeded the age limit to apply for insurance.
-
They have preexisting conditions that would disqualify them from getting insurance.
In response to these challenges and a growing need for quality health services, ExpatCare Insurance — in partnership with Expat Care — is launching a membership program designed as a perfect complement to the scenarios above, covering a complete range of services focused on allowing expats to access quality healthcare without draining their funds.
