Why choose an international group health insurance for your expatriate employees?
Whether you are an employer or part of human resources, the question of finding international health insurance for your employees can be a long and tedious task. Indeed, there are many solutions on the market. To find your way, it is often necessary to call on professionals.
So many questions that we will answer.
In some countries, a contribution to the local social security system is compulsory. But this does not always represent comprehensive and ideal health coverage. Indeed, very few social security systems allow access to reimbursements for foreigners, even if contributions are paid, and are even less usable internationally. Even if the purchase of an international health insurance is not compulsory, it remains essential in the management of the personnel of your company.
Here are the answers to questions about international group health insurance, and see how Expatmedicare can help you in your search.
Many elements must be taken into account, such as the size of the company and the number of employees, the budget allocated, the durations, the coverage envisaged, the possible coverage structures or the country or countries of destination.
Is it mandatory in the targeted country(ies) ?
International group medical coverage will never be compulsory. Only the social security of the country in question can be, but will not always enough to cover your teams optimally.
Why is it important to cover my expatriate teams ?
This is a question that comes up very often. Indeed, it is not always mandatory to offer international group health insurance to your employees abroad. You must therefore first look at the status of your employees, they can be employed locally or seconded. This greatly differentiates the parameters because unlike a seconded person, the expatriate comes under the local regime of the country of destination.
In both cases, offering international group insurance within your company represents an added value for the management of its human resources. Indeed, this drastically reduces the turnover of your company, increasing the happiness and loyalty of your employees while, in another sense, being an added value for many interesting profiles that you would like to recruit.
It is also a way to increase your production, by allowing your employees to have
access to better care but also to speed up procedures by allowing them to go to private hospitals. In some countries, public hospitals are often overcrowded and waste valuable time for your employees, while not offering the comfort necessary for a quick recovery.
What cost does this entail ?
There is a lot of data to take into account to answer this question. Between two different countries it can go from simple to double. But what is important to know is that the cost will be lower than the accumulation of an individual insurance policy.
