EXPAT MEDICAL INSURANCE COMPANIES
Global markets are playing an increasingly important role in everyday life. This is seen through emerging countries attracting companies for possible new expansions as well as employees professionally migrating and adapting to local lifestyles in their countries of assignment.
Living in a new country is always a challenge, especially in reference to healthcare. Different standards of care (sometimes no standards at all), language barriers, limited number of medical providers, lack of private clinics and hospitals, lengthy travel time to the nearest medical facility, lack of specialists – these are several, but definitely not all the issues expats may face while on assignment.

SGI medical team and the insurance company’s medical team remain in constant contact in order to evaluate local healthcare capabilities, determine best treatment plans in complicated cases, and make timely decisions regarding evacuation of the patient back to his home country should certain treatment not be available locally.
