Insurance when living abroad
Posted 4/3/09 by L. Ying Shin
When we were in Malaysia, we basically had no need to worry about our medical expenses, as we were covered by my company. When hubby decided to take the offer to further his studies in the Netherlands, the situation changed. I will be taking unpaid leave for 4 years and we are no longer covered by my company from the day I started my unpaid leave. We need to get an insurance policy specialized for families living abroad with worldwide coverage.
Getting an international insurance policy is very important when you are living abroad, especially when you are in the Netherlands where the medical fees are super expensive! Sad to say, but I don’t think we can afford the medical fees here without insurance.
Now that my mother-in-law will be visiting us this June and staying with us for 3 months, Hubby is trying to search for a suitable international travel policy for her. I think I should try to get a free quote for international insurance from MultiNational Underwriters (www.mnui.com). We can’t take the risk to let her travel without any international health coverage.
