Each higher level of health insurance cover is adding extra benefits or higher benefit limits to the level below. For more information see the Worldwide Table of Benefits.

International health insurance is a type of healthcare insurance policy which is designed to cover those who are abroad for a sustained period of time for medical costs and treatments. You might look to take out international health insurance if you and your family are moving to another country or have been working outside of the UK for a long time to ensure you’re covered for any private medical costs should you require any treatment abroad.

Having international health insurance ensures that you and your family’s health is protected when living or working abroad so that you’re covered for any medical treatment costs. If you choose to take out international health insurance with us, you can benefit from:
Access to private healthcare - having international health insurance allows you and your family to access hospitals and have medical treatment at a time that suits you.
Protection from financial loss - medical expenses can be costly and you don’t want to end up out of pocket for essential treatments. Our global health insurance policies can cover these costs.
Support when you need it most - we offer a personal customer service and you can rely on our expertise to guide you through any issues or assist with queries.
Your partner and/or children can also be covered under our international health insurance, giving you peace of mind that all of the family can receive the medical treatment they need should it be required.
International health insurance can cover you and your family if you need to work outside of the UK or are moving abroad. If you or someone else covered by your policy (such as a partner or children) falls ill or suffers from an acute condition, you should firstly visit a doctor who may refer you to a medical specialist. You’ll then usually need to get in touch with your health insurance provider if you would like to claim for medical treatment under your plan. Find out how you can make a Freedom Worldwide claim.
There is often confusion surrounding medical insurance and travel insurance. Here are some of the main differences between the two:
Who it is designed for - travel insurance is a short-term insurance plan (less than a year) for people going on holiday or on short trips abroad. On the other hand, international medical insurance is designed to offer cover for those who live and work abroad for prolonged periods of time (over 12 months).
What it covers - travel insurance usually offers protection for trip cancellations, loss of possessions (such as luggage) and emergency medical treatment. In contrast, global health insurance can cover treatment for routine healthcare (not just emergency treatments) amongst other medical treatments depending on the level of cover their policy provides.
Our international health insurance cover is designed for people who live and work abroad, including:
Those who are moving abroad, whether this is alone or with their family.
Seasoned business travellers or those who often work outside their country of residence for long periods of time.
Expats who are looking to access better healthcare. Our policy is not limited to UK expats, we can cover most nationalities and countries of residence.
If you're wondering whether our global health insurance is right for you, please feel free to get in touch with us today - we’ll be happy to help.
