The right health plan for you depends on your circumstances. Are you a young professional jetting off to Dubai for a two-year work assignment, or are you relocating your family permanently to Sharjah? Read on to match cover to your needs.
Where you’re going and who you’re taking with you make all the difference when you’re purchasing a global health plan. The best plan for a young person leading healthy lifestyle won’t necessarily suit couples planning to start a family – so it’s worth bearing in mind for whom we design each plan.
To help you out, we’ve put together a quick guide to the different types of people who trust us with their health and well-being and the various health plans they choose.
Are you moving abroad for a fixed-term contract or a permanent position? Or perhaps you’re already based overseas, and you’re looking for the right private health insurance plan?
Our international health insurance is excellent for ambitious, solo expats looking for a better life or exciting work opportunities abroad.
Our plans offer cover for:
We have a range of tools and options to keep your premium low, so you can put together the right health plan for you whether you’re purchasing a plan yourself or with your employer’s help.
We also cover high net worth individuals – providing the highest level of private health insurance cover.
Raising children abroad can be a safe, rewarding, and memorable experience. So, if you’re planning your first child or you’re planning to add to your list, our plans will cover you for maternity costs.
If you have young children, you can include them on your plan until age 24, provided the child is unmarried (as per guidance from the Dubai Health Authority. Once your children turn 25, they’ll need to set up their own policy—we cannot continue their cover under your policy.
If children on the policy are in full-time education, cheaper premiums may apply (we will require proof of them being in full-time education).
While most of our members are expats, you don’t have to live overseas permanently to purchase one of our health plans.
Suppose you’re lucky enough to spend at least six months of the year living, travelling or working outside your country of nationality.
In that case, you can usually apply to for international health insurance with us.
Purchasing an international health insurance plan can have several benefits over a travel insurance policy. You’ll have cover for:
Why slog away in an office in rainy London or freezing New York when you could do your job quite comfortably in a more exotic location?
We can cover you if you’re living abroad but working remotely, even if you’re hopping from place to place and you occasionally return home for business or leisure.
Our international health insurance is suitable for expats aged 55 and over.
Perhaps you’re looking for generous cover for hospital treatment and regular trips to the doctor or pharmacy? Or you may be concerned about falling ill where the treatment you might need isn’t readily available?
Our health plans have useful benefits and tools for these requirements. We can accept new members up to and including age 75. Most importantly, once you’re on cover you can renew your plan for as long as you need it—even if your health deteriorates. We won’t stop you from renewing your plan once you reach a certain age.
Consider that you’re just starting in adult life, and you’re moving countries for your studies, work experience or a graduate placement.
You’re probably not worrying about what would happen if you needed hospital treatment, or how much it would cost for an ambulance to get you to hospital.
Private healthcare can be costly—our plans exist to take care of those worries while you get on with your life.
Whether you run a multi-national corporation or a fledgeling start-up, you likely do business in more than one country and your supply lines likely cross international borders. Perhaps you set up your company abroad in a business-friendly zone, or maybe you employ several expats.
If more than 50% of your workforce are expats, we can cover your employees under a single health plan for your business. Perhaps you’re relocating staff to overseas to staff a new office or division, or perhaps you’re moving your entire business. Whatever your circumstances, we can tailor a health plan for all or just a certain category of your employees.
No matter which health plan you choose with William Russell, you’ll always enjoy the following membership perks:
You won’t find complete information for our plans on this webpage, nor the full T&Cs, limitations, and exclusions that would apply if you purchase one. You can find complete information in the plan agreement, which we suggest you read together with this webpage. All the benefits on this webpage are per member per policy year, unless we state otherwise. We show the benefit limits in US dollars, but we can also denominate your plan in dirhams.
