It will allow you to access health services from international providers, meaning you may have access to more health facilities, specialists and treatment options in comparison to a UK based policy. International health insurance is the solution to high-quality private healthcare while away from home.

International health insurance can be beneficial to both UK students studying abroad, as well as international students who are moving to the UK to study. Having access to international health insurance & private healthcare while away from home can help with peace of mind in the event of a health emergency, and can help you receive fast access to treatment that will get you back on your feet.
Feel as comfortable as you would having access to the NHS in the UK with the right insurance policy. Benefit from international hospital lists and the security of knowing you’ll find the help and medical insurance abroad you need in the way you’ve opted for when taking out your policy. You may be familiar with travel insurance for holidays, but this may not be the best option for long-term residence in a country abroad, and it may cover you for things that you don’t need.
Often students will study abroad in groups, in which case it may be more cost effective to purchase a group international health insurance policy together. If you’re travelling with others, check what their private health insurance plans are and organise them together. If you’d like a hand understanding what would be the most cost-effective option for you, get in touch with us.
If you’re a student moving to the UK, planning access to health services and medical insurance abroad can be just as important as deciding where you’re going to study. You may have the option to pay for access to NHS services, but this may seem unfamiliar to you and won’t always offer the same access to diagnosis and treatment as private healthcare would. We’re on hand to offer free, no obligation advice on which UK international health insurance provider would be best suited to your needs, and help you find the most suitable and competitive international health insurance policy for your time in the UK.
Whether you’re looking for health insurance for expats cover while working overseas, or you’re moving to the UK, we can help you find and access the right health insurance for expats’ cover at all times, no matter where you’re travelling too. Some countries require by law that expatriates have medical insurance abroad, and this information will be needed when applying for your visa. International medical costs can be extremely expensive, and you may be limited to your choice of treatment centres and healthcare professionals, especially if emergency treatment is needed. Health insurance for expats can help to remove the unknown elements of how you would receive healthcare, and may save you money that would otherwise be spent on the treatments themselves.
If you’re an expat from overseas looking to move to the UK, an international health insurance policy may be able to offer you private treatment in the UK, as well as in your home country if you plan to return for shorter trips. If you don’t think you’ll be visiting other countries too, then an individual UK health insurance policy may be best suited to you.
If you’re lucky enough to go travelling with your family, or you’re temporarily relocating abroad due to other commitments, an international health insurance policy can protect you while away from home. A comprehensive policy will ensure that you’re protected while overseas, without having to worry about medical insurance abroad, expensive treatments in a health emergency, or being treated in an unfamiliar environment.
