Your decision on what kind of insurance plan is best for you will be heavily based on your personal situation; how healthy you are, the quality of the local healthcare system and hospitals, whether you’re settled in your country of residence or move frequently, and whether you travel frequently among other factors. In Hong Kong for instance, public hospitals provide a high quality of care at a completely reasonable cost. Generally, less than HK$100 per day for anyone with a Hong Kong ID card. But for anything that’s not an emergency, it could take weeks to schedule an appointment for surgery or treatment. While scheduling treatment can take days instead of weeks at a private hospital, the...

Introduction In August 2019 the Minister of Health introduced the National Health Insurance Bill [i] (“NHI”) to Parliament. Many South Africans have voiced their opinions, as in these economically precarious times all one truly has is one’s health.

Health insurance is a way to help pay for health care expenses. Having insurance helps in the event of an accident or illness by paying some of the medical costs when you're injured or sick. Like car insurance or home insurance, you can choose from a variety of plans. When you have health insurance, the insurance company pays a portion of your medical expenses. The amount the insurance company will pay, and the services that are covered (coverage) varies by plan. For example, you may have to pay a $20 co-payment for each doctor visit. Or, the plan may not cover anything until you've paid a certain amount (the deductibles). These deductibles and co-payments, along with any other expenses you...

In Dubai, it’s mandatory for employers to provide it, while in Abu Dhabi they must also add cover for dependents. However, the standard of coverage is sometimes lower than most senior executives would expect, particularly those at C-suite level – that is, CEOs, CFOs, COOs, and similar. With this in mind, permanent international private medical insurance plans (IPMIs) are well placed to provide a better way for C-suite executives to take care of themselves and their families in the UAE. They function essentially by ‘topping up’ an executive’s...
