Health insurance for employees in foreign countries is critically important because your existing health plan may not cover them well, or at all.  The answer is to obtain annually renewable, U.S.-style major medical insurance plan designed for U.S citizens living abroad or foreign nationals throughout the world.

These types of plans often have higher limits, such as $5,000,000 or more, and may include medical, dental and vision, as well as assistance for other needs. These plans are available for both individuals and families.

It is also possible to find group coverage for employees around the world.  These plans may allow employers to provide comprehensive group hospital, surgical, medical, life, dental, and indemnity benefits for employees and their families.

The good news is that while your regular health insurance may not cover you adequately while abroad, medical travel insurance is relatively inexpensive.
