Hey Nomads!
I’m looking for an international health insurance (no travel insurance) for my nomadic life. It should cover the basic services and at least be accepted in the EU (it’s ok if it’s not accepted in the US as I’m aware they rarely are). Nice to have: enter into a contract online. Anyone got a good experience or a recommendation?
Thanks in advance!
I’ve been with SafetyWing (a YC startup) for a couple of years now, but fortunately haven’t had the need to make a claim yet.
I’m using GeoBlue Expat Health Insurance. My broker is Andrew Blomberg, [email protected] com
I had Cigna, but ran into a problem and cancelled. GeoBlue is expensive, but I’m older with usual health issues for my age.
Has anyone yet have any experience with claims with April International?
I am considering switching from Integra Global since April seems to provide direct payment to hospital and better coverage.
In addition the policy is clearly defined in terms of what exactly is covered. Integra Globals terms are really not 100% clear.
Just been through the gauntlet with all of this and wrote it up in an article here
For ref:
[Disclaimer: I’m not a professional and have no clue what I’m talking about so don’t blame me if you fuck this up]
Spoiler alert / TL;DR: I went with Basic Global Health Insurance cover, with a £2000 deductible and 30% Cost share (1330 max OOP). I got this from Cigna Global for £33 a month. I’m in my mid-twenties and have a clean record. Woo.
For insurance illiterate people, this means that you’re essentially only covered for serious stuff (surgery + ongoing care), and you have to pay the first £2000 of costs accrued + 30% up to a limit of £1330.
So with these types of plans you’re only going to be taken care of when you’ve done something very stupid and / or gotten very unlucky and are shuffling off your mortal coil after paying the first £3330 in bills. As a fairly young person with access to cheap (read: non-American) healthcare, and at worst — a decent national healthcare system, I don’t see cover being crucial for anything non-life threatening. I use travel insurance (Digital Nomads) to take care of anything less serious while I’m away from my base-country and don’t think the added frustration of claiming on small things makes it worth it when you can shell out and walk away.
If you want to go full blast, all encompassing (Prestige, Gold, whatever) cover (or add-ons in some cases) with a £0 deductible and £0 cost share will mean that the insurance company will pay for everything from your check ups to Chinese medicine, but will probably set you back upwards of £200 a month, which would — in many cases — end up being a net loss if you don’t use medical services often. If ,on the other hand, you get a lot of consultations and want to err on the safe side, it might be worth it. And of course there’s always a middle ground.
Also, note that global insurance is not the same as standard health insurance (or travel insurance — more on that later), and thus is more expensive.
What to look at / Important notes
So you’ve figured your general cover and your deductible, now prepare to start looking through enormous lists with tick boxes on them and reading words like ‘action sport rider’ and ‘dental’. Here’s what I found important, and what turned the tables for me. It’ll take less time to just call up an advisor and ask them about the policies directly when making comparisons.
Your ‘country of residence’ — Speaking to the reps, they said they don’t give a shit where you’re legally resident, but it affects where they administrate the policy from (which can create a large variance in cost because of taxes). You can actually fiddle around with these, because the tax involved in putting your residence as somewhere like the UK means the prices are a lot higher, and these policies usually only cover you for a limited period of time in your ‘resident’ country, which is not where you want to be anyway.
Whether they’ll pay direct — IMG Global were one of the most competitively priced, but all bills had to be paid up front by yours truly and then claimed back afterwards, which I’ve heard takes months. When you’re drooling on the floor and don’t have one hundred thou’ in your savings, there’s not much point there. With most good policies, you give the hospital your insurance forms, and they pick up the cheque.
Whether sports are included — I don’t do many sports, but when I do, I’m very likely to be critically injured. A lot of basic policies don’t include injuries sustained doing things that involve fun, so check that out.
‘Mental health’ — Again, varies wildly as to whether this is included in ‘basic’. Cigna includes something like £5,500 cover in case you lose it.
Systems + Support — You want somewhere that’ll get you through to a human quickly when needed, and a company that’ll start your policy immediately. The one I’ve recommended had everything sewn up in less than 10 minutes.
Evacuation, Outpatient, Dental: This will all be extra. Want to ride in a cool helicopter? You’ll be paying for it.
Travel Insurance vs Health Insurance
This is an important distinction that often gets muddled up. To put it clearly, travel insurance will only cover you until they can push you onto the local healthcare system, or your normal insurance. Once you’re out of the clinic for a while or back home, you’re on your own.
The companies I looked at
AXA — well known, reliable, but expensive because of it. My family have used them for 40 years and never had problems.
BUPA — ditto
Cigna — Included sports cover, direct payment and mental health on the basic plans, well priced, easy sign up, good support so far. I’ll holla-back when I have to make a claim.
IMG — Best price by far, but no direct pay and the website is horrific. Indianapolese sales rep couldn’t tell me what the differences in the plans were and I’m pretty sure is voting for Trump.
Here’s what I’ve found when it comes to health insurance abroad:
I specifically asked one of them if motorcycle accidents would be covered if the driver didn’t have a license (I don’t intend on driving them, but maybe I would hop on with a friend).
He said yes, even after I said “are you completely sure?”
I asked another rep to confirm this and she said “no, that’s illegal, we wouldn’t cover it”.
And a lot of them are horror stories.
So, I chose to go with a UK company, called April Co
They have a pretty comprehensive (and affordable, like 130 a month for the 2nd tier plan) coverage that seems good for emergencies.
The other one I was considering was IntegraGlobal, based on The Worldly Blend endorsing them.
In the end, I chose April Co because they do direct pay for ANY hospital you go into, whereas IntegraGlobal has a preferred network that lets you do direct pay through them, but requires you to pay the hospital upfront and submit a claim later for out of network.
If you do go with April CO, I highly recommend getting the International Plus Plan instead of the International, because some of the wording in the International Plan. The basic plan defines a hospital stay as “being in a hospital for longer than 24 hours” and doesn’t cover outpatient stuff… so it seems like they could screw you and not cover a surgery that didn’t require an overnight stay.
**The moral of the story in my mind:
Don’t listen to anything the sales reps say. Instead, read the plan policy guide (NOT the statement of benefits) as closely as humanly possible. Because it seems like, in the end, the policy guide is what the company is legally required to insure you for, given all the legalese in the document.
And while you can’t prevent a company from outright screwing you and not paying the claim they are supposed to, you can make sure you don’t get caught in any loopholes (like not pre-authorizing hospital stays, which they can then charge you for).
Bumping this given we’re in open enrollment. I’m back in US until February so am looking at getting a low deductible ppo to knock out some doctor’s visits/test whatever and then hopefully transition to Cigna while overseas the rest of the year.
Has anyone just let their US-based plan lapse without paying? That’s basically what the Anthem rep recommend I do once I was no longer in the country if I didn’t want the policy anymore (you cant’ outright “cancel” but they will drop you if you don’t pay obviously.)
So many options, so if I take a cheap insurance like HCC Atlas, the cost will be lower and the coverage too.
I really suck at this 
.
200k for coverage is that good? I mean if I go for a 1M coverage, I think they can give me a robotic arm for that price no?
Does anybody already had a bad experience with an insurance?
I feel like I’m getting influenced by the limiting belief that cheap equals low quality . Except that here I’m not buying toilet paper :s.
After having done a fair share of research I’ve gone with Clements world coverage (health insurance, not travel insurance); seemed like they have reasonable pricing / relatively low amount of horror stories. Also includes US coverage, which is a must for me.
Costs about $2k a year, but should cover almost anything.
Would also love to know more about HCC Atlas. I’ve been using them for years as my go to travel insurance but have never made a claim. I have no idea if it’ll hold up 
Any experiences?
A good trick is to get your dive master with Padi. With your annual fee you get a great insurance coverage for about 200USD a year and you don’t need to work as a DM.
SSI does it too for freediving.
@seel but this insurance is for diving, or is it for some other activities too? Source/link appreciated
IMG Global is another option. You have to be out of the U.S. (or home country) for 6 months, but it’s full medical coverage locally and abroad, including emergency medical evacuation and very affordable.
Hello Nomads,
I’ve been preparing for my world trip for a while & I extensively investigated this question.
Short answer is: yes, an international health insurance for digital nomads does exist.
Can you be of any nationality? yes, but not all insurances will be able to cover you.
Can you be of any residency (I know it’s a super awkward one since you’re a nomad)? yes, just put the last place where you actually lived, know that this is the country where you will be repatriated for long term treatment if needed, so do put a country with a decent healthcare system.
I wrote much much more about this on http://travel.stackexchange.com/questions/776/long-term-travel-what-insurances-can-should-i-get/46751#46751
See you on the road 
Just seeing this thread.
I’m with AXA PPP International myself. I had a rather specific case and looked at a great many options.
I’m Bermudian and Bermuda has no public health care (for me at least). A great many of the insurance plans I looked at relied on you having home coverage in your country of residence (someone else defined it as the difference between travel insurance and health insurance). They basically cover you for immediate care and then repatriate you back home. This works ok if you’re resident somewhere that has public health care (or you have resident insurance) but doesn’t work so well if you don’t.
Another key thing I looked at was ongoing coverage like physio as well as sports coverage. I like to kiteboard and wakeboard. This was also something that narrowed down the list as many covered you initially but didn’t have ongoing coverage and care.
So I needed global coverage (there was a cheaper ex-US option which I went with) that doesn’t rely on me already having some form of health care and when I looked into the small print, AXA was one of the few. The overall policy covers up to $2.4 million USD each year and costs me about $2500 a year (a far cry from the $5000 and $7500 I was quoted by Bermudian insurance companies).
They also have a network of hospitals that apparently if you call in for pre-approval or get routed there and they’ll prepay your bills so no claims. I haven’t had to make any claims yet so I have no idea how reliable this is.
Thanks Denis for your input.
$2500 a year! That’s expensive!
You could easily pay less than half of that!
Look at the few insurances I pointed to in my answer on http://travel.stackexchange.com/questions/776/long-term-travel-what-insurances-can-should-i-get/46751#46751
Thanks Adrien, I’ll take a look. I’ve had it for a few years now. In comparison to what I was quoted by Bermuda based companies it seemed a lot more reasonable. It was also what one of the Bermuda companies used to underwrite its global (ex-Bermuda) coverage which gave me a bit more confidence to go with them as Bermuda can tend to be an obscure case to deal with.
Of note, I forgot to mention that I originally used Brokerfish.com as an excellent comparison site which gave a great overview of pricing, benefits and options of various plans. Price varies alot based upon what you’re keen on (basics with high deductable or more comprehensive, dental and no deductable)
Denis, Adrien, and everyone else, I appreciate this discussion! I know a lot more about travel insurance now thanks to you guys.
I’m Venezuelan and I’ll be working from Berlin for 6 months as my first official nomad experience. I’ve checked out several travel health insurance companies and I thought you might find my quotes helpful for reference. The prices are in USD. The plans listed below offer global coverage excluding the USA, and all of them have a $250 deductible and $50,000 coverage to make the comparison easier.
IMG Global: $275 for 6 months.
Allianz Worldwide Care: $1,450 for 1 year.
Seven Corners - Liaison Majestic: $190 for 6 months.
HCC Atlas: $160 for 6 months.
After Denis’s comments, I’m a bit hesitant as to which company to choose. None of them really asked me if I have primary coverage in my home country (which I don’t), so what could be justifying an order of magnitude increase for the Allianz coverage? Are the other providers’ prices too good to be true? What could the catch be?
@alemacgo : make sure you read the whole “terms and conditions” of the policies offered, as this is what will be used for/against you when you file a claim. I assume that the price differences do come with significant differences in services.
Did you look at TrueTraveller.com or Clements.com too ?
@AdrienBe, thanks for the pointers!
Apparently, TrueTraveller.com requires me to be a permanent resident of an EU/EEA country, which makes me think I’d need to be insured by a local social security system belonging to one of those countries. At the moment, I’m not a permanent resident in Europe (although I could become one).
Clements.com did give me a quote, but it’s around the $750 ballpark for a $250 deductible and similar coverage as the ones I mentioned earlier, so I keep wondering: what’s the catch with Seven Corners and HCC Atlas? Why are they able to charge less than $200?
Hi Alemacgo,
It is important to read through the policy information and confirm what kind of coverage it is.
Travel coverage works well enough to take care of anything major. It works on the premise that they stabilize you enough to send you back home, and then it’s your home insurance’s problem to manage your full recovery. If you’re willing to risk it, the premiums are a lot lower. Though also weigh that against what your risks likely are as you’ll be the one footing the bill in the end if you need year round coverage.
Proper health care coverage you could find but you have to be diligent in reading through the actual policy details. Don’t rely on the broker to clarify things for you.
I’m with Integra Global, on their family plan excluding the U.S./Canada. Haven’t had to put in a claim yet. Apparently Allianz doesn’t cover residents of either U.S. or Brazil, and Cigna won’t cover my Brazilian husband, which is too bad because their prices look quite reasonable.
I’m with IMG Global. Just now having to actually make a claim, so we’ll see how that goes. But the sign-up process and the fees are all favorable and the coverage is worldwide.
I’m curious too. I just purchased a plan. Their coverage and pricing is really good. Please let us know.
How do you like IMG Global? How did your claim go?
How did it go with your claim at IMG?
Not great! They took forever to get back to me and didn’t cover anything. I’ve since switched to GeoBlue and they are so much better. I’ve made several claims and had them set up direct billing for many appointments. They respond promptly and have covered everything so far.
Be very careful with World Nomads. If you get seriously sick, recovery will take lots of time. And if you need to prolong your insurance during this period, they will treat your sickness as a “pre-existing condition” and won’t pay for your bills.
Global Underwriters also has a Diplomat Long Term policy. It’s fairly expensive (especially compared to IPS) but may be another option for those where IPS isn’t suitable.
World Nomads Insurance is great option for digital nomads. We have a 5% off discount code if you’re interested.
Would appreciate it if you could send me the discount code: info (at) barclaey (dot) com Thx!
If you’re truly nomadic and never in the same place for too long, I can’t see why you wouldn’t opt for travel insurance that has great medical benefits? Unless I suppose you’re often sick and need a special kind of health insurance, but for the average nomad, I’d suggest a good travel insurance plan like WorldNomads.
True. WorldNomads seem a bit more generous with the trip duration. If you take their expensive package, it’s about equivalent to the cheaper providers in Germany and Switzerland (CareConcept and Swisscare) plus some travel features. You ever had a claim with them or any other experience.
I made a claim with WorldNomads but for travel delays not health. It was super easy and they paid up really quickly.
Google provides a great tool to find and book health insurances: https://www.google.co.uk/compare/travelinsurance/form?p=home
I just heard in many countries you can also use your home country’s insurance as an expat but you have to pay extra. For example in the Netherlands, insurance is usually around EUR 1,000 but that goes up EUR 5,000 if you’re a non-resident expat, as the government doesn’t subsidize it anymore.
Subsidized? It’s probably you who is subsidizing the government. For young people full-blown international health insurance with outpatient option (which is almost never a good deal) and other bling bling is maybe 1800 EUR max, maybe 1000 EUR without. Since most socialist governments charge the same rate to all ages and sexes, young and healthy people like you are subsidizing older people (who would have pay those 5000 EUR by the time they reach 60 or 70).
You can decide for yourself, if you as a younger person – who just starts earning money – should be supporting more wealthy pensioners. The most economic option for you will be a private international insurance, as mentioned above. This also has the advantage that those companies directly bill many hospitals and doctors all around the world. When you’re with the Dutch system you most likely pay yourself and then run after bureaucrats to get your money back.
Yep. It goes both ways. The thing is Dutch healthcare is amazing and it hardly ever lets you down. The rate being flat means that now I subsidize elderly, and the young people will subsidize me when I’m old. It’s called solidarity.
When you book your flights and places using a credit card (ala. MasterCard Gold), don’t you have a pretty coverage for medical insurance? Is there a reason this is not mentioned until now?
No definitely not. That’s not included default with MasterCard cards. Some banks might offer that.
Just some examples:
I’m paying 5$ per month to have a travel insurance for my MasterCard. It is limited to 6 months per location, which should be okay, when you travel from place to place.
The requirement is usually, that you pay the trip (flights) using this card, which I do.
Am I missing something obvious here?
Credit card insurance is often bound to your normal health insurance and will only pay the difference. Once you settle down for any reason (teach, study, work) it will also become invalid. The time is generally limited to the first 90 days of a trip. Then you need to go home for a day. I’m not sure a location change is enough. Of course they don’t tell you that until there is a claim. My guess is for any claim of real money they will put you under a lot of scrutiny and try to avoid payment.
So far I only have experience with lost luggage, but not a medical emergency. If you do go for this option, read the contract very very carefully and be prepared to fight for your money.
Thanks @manu for your reply. I just called them today, the time limit is indeed 90 days, you have to come home at least once, and it will start from 0 again.
Another reason, which is probably bigger than the one you mentioned: It does not cover business trips or anything related to your work. It’s only meant to be used for vacation.
About “they try to avoid payment”: That’s the case with every insure. Actually, it’s just a regular insurance provider, which is used by the banks providing the credit cards.
Hmm that is interesting. But what means for work ? If we work abroad or a mission in the country that was not planned at the begining ?
I believe we’re discussing international health insurance in this thread. Explicitly NOT travel insurance. Those two are very different.
Travel insurance mostly latches on to existing government run health insurance and basically covers the difference. It’s valid only for a limited time and tied to conditions such as you actually being on a holiday vs. working from abroad. Also it won’t cover basic stuff like severe diseases such as cancer or so.
That’s great. I hope there will be enough people left to pay for us. Those baby boomers will be a big test for this kind of generational contract.
Have you (or anyone else) ever had a claim from a non-EU country? I would be interested in how smooth that process goes.
Yes a lot. National health insurance also gives me worldwide coverage included in the standard package (which costs about EUR 1,200 per year). The general rule is that they cover you up to the price health care costs in the Netherlands. Above that, you have to pay it yourself. In most situations, that means it’s covered.
Thank you everyone for the great input!
I looked at all the suggestions and then spoke to an insurance agent here in Germany and decided to get an insurance called ReiseMed AS12V from DVK (Ergo), a German insurer. It’s 50,00 Euros/month and covers all basic healthcare services for people living and working in an EU country. Healthcare in the Americas will be charged extra (quite a bit).
Allianz seems reliable and has few limitations. There are also cheaper ones, but they limit the stay in your home country. Swisscare (CH), Care Concept (DE). The established companies also have packages. Cigna, Bupa, Axa.
After comparing the main offers last year I stayed with Allianz. 500 EUR/year, 1.2m cover and 10k deductible.
I’d choose Cigna if we had children. @melanie: What’s your experience with Cigna so far? I guess you can’t really tell unless you really have an emergency.
Haha, true! I’ll let you know when I break my leg What I can tell is that they’re a-okay and I’m happy to keep them on.
Such a plunder, trying to find health insurance. Right now I’m using Cigna’s Global Health Insurance that covers me for a majority of the world I believe (should probably look into that).
Reasonably affordable and you can pick and choose what you want covering you. I submitted my info online and finalized the deal with a super awesome rep on the phone.
@Melanie - your link is for Cigna’s corporate plans. Here is a link to get a quote for Cigna Global individual or family plans: Cigna Global Quote
http://WorldNomads.com offers travel insurance but not health insurance.
Allianz seems to be one of the few companies offering health insurance @ http://www.allianzworldwidecare.com/
I have used IPS. The prices are reasonable, they do pay claims, and they accept international credit cards. In any EU country, this insurance will meet the coverage requirement because IPS is based in The Netherlands. http://www.studentsinsured.com
Hoping to see all the cool stuff people are working on while they live an extraordinary life.
Anyone know of any groups or resources for Ph.D. students working on dissertation while living as a digital nomad? I know there are several virtual writing groups around, but wondered if there were any specifically for digital nomads, particularly those who are dissertating.
Thanks!
I would like to avoid having to come right back home, ya know? <3
I plan to be in Bali a lot, but if this is a terrible time to go,
it could stunt my future plans of being in Bali for an extended period of time.
Would love to see you guys! <3
I have finally saved enough money to start investing. What company gives good, diversified access to stock, ETFs and mutual funds? Does it make sense to use company like Vanguard or Fidelity for that? I’m a EU/Poland citizen, how would I transfer my money back and forth without incurring significant fees?
Hello digital nomad!
I dream of being an independent digital nomad. But it feels very elusive & unattainable with my success rate. In full disclosure, whilst I have dreamed about making money online since high school; I have not earned a single cent making money online. $0, nada, zilch!! On the contrary, I have spent a lot of time & money on books, podcasts. Even though I have spent a lot of time reading/listening to others, I do not have anything to show for it!
I have made attempts in the past to start an online business, but these fizzle out quite quickly when I do not see traction especially when the goal I have set myself is too high.
Instead of reaching for the ultimate nomadic lifestyle goal, I want to start much smaller. Really small! I am simply looking to make $50 profit per month from a new online business. That’s it.
I need some advice from you please!
Is $50 profit too low? How long did it take you to earn $50 profit per month?
What is a good way of achieving this goal?
Thanks

Hello everyone! I’m new here and probably this is a very newbie question, but it doesn’t leave my head.
How do you, nomads, pay your taxes? I mean, if you’re constantly traveling, how are you going to pay taxes for a certain country if you are going to stay there a short period of time?
Or do you return to your “original country” and then pay them?
By the way, this forum has very nice cool formatting features!

Hey guys, this was my first year as a Canadian nomad.
As far as I know of, Canadians don’t pay taxes if they do not live in the country for 6 months.
But I’d like to talk to an accountant or someone who does Canadian taxes specifically for expats and nomads to get clear on the rules and for help on my return coming up.
Does anyone know someone who specializes in Canada who can help? I’ve seen plenty of US recommendations but none for us canucks.
Thanks guys!
Hi,
I’m looking for travel insurance that I can use for work. I’m in the US now, but am moving to Portugal. I’m looking for travel insurance that I can buy to recover travel costs if my plans change for any reason. World Nomad looks good, but they don’t have the ‘Any Reason’ part. I found a helpful article on The Points Guy site, but for all the policies there, you have to be a US resident and I wouldn’t be then.
Any suggestions?
Hi!
I am planning to move to Latin America for 3-4 months (Oct-January). I’ve narrowed down 6 different places that I want to visit before committing to settling down, but I’d love to get some community input.
Here are the cities I’m considering:
The most important things I’m looking for:
Anyone have any experience with these places and can give some insight? I’m also completely open to other recommendations.

I just landed as a n00b digital nomad in Mexico City, and I am wondering… Where are all the international digital nomads hiding around here? I have been to several coworking spaces (Selina etc.) only to find A LOT of local Mexican workers and businesses. Don’t get me wrong, that is all fine, but I was hoping to meet some international nomads! Any advice?
There’s been a lot of discussion on this recently.
Nomads usually stay in hostels, hotels and short-term apartments. But it’s all not very optimal.
I’ve heard people suggest getting funding and building a network of houses you can stay at for a subscription price (e.g. Bruno Haid is working on that).
I don’t want do physical stuff, so I’m thinking of building a platform around making housing better for nomads.
What are the housing problems nomads face? And how can we solve them with products/services?

I vaguely remember hearing about such a service before, but I’m drawing a blank on the name. Basically I left my tablet on a connecting flight in Europe, right before my main flight to Thailand. They have my tablet and are willing to ship it out for me, but people have warned me there’s a big risk of it getting “lost in the mail” if I ship something expensive like that to Thailand.
I’m wondering if there’s a service or community, where I can find a nomad who’s in Europe/heading to Thailand soon, so I can have it shipped to them in Europe and pay them to ferry it down here for me? I met someone in Budapest a ways back who had built something for this type of use-case, but I can’t remember the name of it. Any help would be appreciated!
I have seen a lot of posts from different people across the world, but not even a single post from someone in India, who has been a nomad, either living within the country or traveling to another one.
Would definitely love to hear stories from such people. We are a couple traveling as social nomads who are trying to bridge the gap between the rural and urban societies in India. We have started out very humble and do not have much resources, so looking out for help from the community.

Does anyone have experience in Bari, Italy please? We are thinking of going from Dubrovnik, Croatia to Bari by boat in mid-March. Has anyone taken a boat across? Is it nice or can it be choppy? (We are trying to avoid planes, to reduce our carbon footprint, so adding more surface travel.) Also, any info you might be able to offer about Bari and the surrounds? Next step will likely be trains up Italy as the Spring progresses.
