Here’s everything you need to know about Cigna international health insurance.
What is International Health Insurance?
International health insurance provides health coverage for individuals planning to live outside of their home countries for longer than six months. In these cases, travel insurance policies typically won’t provide the comprehensive coverage you need while living abroad.
Through your international health insurance policy, you’ll gain access to a global network of doctors, hospitals, and care providers to ensure you always have access to high-quality medical services — even if your local healthcare system isn’t up to par.
Cigna International Health Insurance Plan Benefits
Cigna international health plans offer three levels of coverage: Silver, Gold, and Platinum — each of which offers varying benefits and coverage limits. However, no matter what plan you choose, you’ll have access to several standard benefits, including:
- Customizable deductibles: Cigna members can choose their deductibles to ensure their plan’s cost meets their financial needs.
- Inpatient care: All plans include coverage for inpatient care services, including essential hospital stays and treatments.
