Health Insurance for Expats

Health Coverage That Moves With You

When you relocate abroad, your health insurance needs don’t stay the same.

You may be navigating a new medical system, traveling between countries, or simply wanting the comfort of knowing you can access quality care when you need it—wherever you are. That’s why choosing the right international health insurance matters.

At DiscoverWell, you’ll receive experienced guidance tailored to your needs, helping you secure comprehensive global coverage that supports your lifestyle, whether you’re relocating for work, living overseas long-term, or embracing a flexible, internationally mobile way of life.

Why Expats Choose International Health Insurance

When you move overseas, you need health insurance that goes beyond borders. International health insurance offers the flexibility and protection expats need, including:

  • Coverage across multiple countries

  • Access to private hospitals and specialists

  • Strong outpatient, mental health, and preventive benefits

  • Emergency evacuation and repatriation

  • Optional U.S. coverage

  • Flexibility if you travel frequently or relocate again

This is the preferred choice for globally mobile individuals, families, and professionals who want dependable access to care, wherever life takes them.

Our guidance is simple, clear, and tailored to your needs - so you never feel overwhelmed or unsure about your options.

What’s Included

With an expat medical plan, you can access to care that fits your life abroad:

  • Routine & Preventive Care – checkups, screenings, and wellness visits
  • Emergency & Hospital Coverage – protection for unexpected accidents or illnesses
  • Global Provider Networks – treatment at trusted hospitals and clinics worldwide
  • Customizable Add-Ons – maternity, dental, vision, and mental health options

This coverage is designed for ongoing life abroad, not short-term travel. Not sure which benefits you actually need?

What Makes Expat Coverage Different?

Expat health insurance isn’t the same as travel insurance. It’s built to support long-term residents living outside their home country, with:

  • Coverage for everyday medical care - not just emergencies
  • Options for outpatient, specialist, and chronic care
  • Stability for visas, residency permits, and employer documentation
  • Higher annual limits suitable for private international hospitals
  • Portability if you relocate again or travel frequently

These plans offer continuity, ensuring your care doesn’t reset every time you change countries.
