Editor Review

The Good: Designed for employers with international employees and intended to provide U.S.-style health benefits and worldwide coverage. Available to companies with two or more internationally assigned employees or expatriate employees or independent contractors. Coverage for spouse and dependent children included.

The Drawbacks: No flight accident AD&D or emergency dental, and coinsurance percentages apply to treatment outside the PPO network within America and Canada.

The Bottom Line: This plan is cost-effective, comprehensive, employer-sponsored group medical coverage with life, dental, and daily indemnity coverage. Designed for employers who need international group medical coverage for their employees around the world.
