An expat is looking for travel health insurance with good benefits
I tried to search previous chats but came up empty. What private health insurance companies are you all using. I’ll be traveling next year, mostly in Mexico, but am not able to set up residency yet. I know paying out of pocket is an option but for big things - like hospitalization or emergency evacuation- I’d like to have options. Any suggestions appreciated. I got a $800 a month quote from Cigna and it doesn’t cover everything - ridiculous.

Id recommend travel insurance, using your credit card emergency services if u have one, and have someone local with your emergency contacts back home. You have to pay emergencies up front and then get reimbursed,.. if your lucky. Private insurance sometimes doesnt start till after paying a ridiculous anount monthly for 16months. It is ridiculous. If u dive have DAN
Oh yeah, cigna is insane. There is way better options out there. And I would be happy to help. I’m a broker for the last nine years here in Mexico and I can explain how the system works and show you some things to consider. I’ll send you a PM!
Is this just to travel or be here short times? There are digital nomad insurances: Dr Walter Genki Safetywings
When my husband and I travel, we usually use Nomads.
Thanks for the replies. I’m looking at world nomads and safety wings. I want actual healthcare benefits not just for emergencies.
