Insurance for expatriate missions

The expatriate mission insurance policies are for people who are dedicated to serving in foreign nations. These plans can be purchased individually and are typically renewable every year. They provide medical coverage of $1 million to 8 million. Premiums for expatriate insurance policies are usually competitive. Coverage for pre-existing health conditions is often maintained after a policy has been in place for a set number of years. For professional mariners and captains, there are also global missionary health plans.

Missionaries are often required to have expatriate medical insurance. They travel to faraway places and work in remote regions where medical care can be scarce. The cost of an expensive evacuation can add up to thousands of pounds if missionaries become sick or have to travel abroad for medical treatment. Insurance policies designed for expatriate missions are able to cover the cost and help the family avoid the financial burden.
