International cover for expatriates in business and life international cover from General & Medical
Despite the current financial stall of recession, General & Medicals sound foundations have enabled it to continue to grow. Part of this growth has been the development of new covers and services to meet increasing demands in a competitive private healthcare market. General & Medical International Healthcare cover for expatriates (personal or corporate) is one such example of this forward thinking and is a welcome addition to a range already covering personal, business and sport requirements.
Recognising the need for this
It is now easier than ever for businesses to go global or for those planning a lifestyle change or retirement to make an informed choice thanks to wide-ranging advances in communications technologies and cheaper convenient travel.
This increased awareness of what’s out there and a ‘grass being greener’ attitude have led to significant increases in expatriate numbers. This in turn has led to an unwelcome drain on local economies abroad where a large expatriate community is present or in the UK where expats have returned to the UK to use the NHS.
Whether the expat community is mainly corporate (Middle East), or public (Costa Blanca), authorities both UK and abroad are placing increasing restrictions on, or removing entirely access to free healthcare. Many countries have gone so far to insist that you are required to have private medical insurance before entry into their countries.
Recognising the requirements
With these factors in mind there has been a significant increase in the need for a tailored cover for expats, personal or business and General & Medical have developed covers to suit both these requirements.
General & Medical also recognised that the most important feature of any insurance policy is efficient and effective claims handling. This is more complex when the claimant lives outside the UK and needs treatment abroad. To ensure a smooth, stress-free and streamlined claims process for our insured clients, General & Medical provide a professional on-line claims handling team, highly experienced in dealing with events outside of the UK.
