Navigating health insurance abroad isn’t always straightforward — especially when you’re balancing local requirements with global needs. Before you rely solely on your employer’s plan, here are 5 key differences every expat should know:
1️⃣ Portability – Local plans often end when you change jobs or countries. International plans travel with you.

3️⃣ Compliance – Local laws mandate coverage, but rules vary by country. International plans simplify compliance across borders.
