Checklist for choosing international health insurance

Before selecting an international or expatriate medical insurance policy, you should consider the following:

Do you want "budget" hospital-only cover for acute conditions or "comprehensive", which includes out-patient treatments and consultations?

Decide what you can afford and what benefits you most want.

Fully understand what is not covered as well as what is.

Decide what you don't want insurance cover for? (e.g. repatriation/maternity).

Decide if you need access to a 24-hour multilingual helpine.

Decide if you want to include cover for accidents and injuries.

Decide if you want portability: cover that can be continued in another country if you move, without changing the policy or finding a new one.
