Health Global Insurance

knowledge

IndusInd Health Global (formerly Reliance Health Global) is a comprehensive global health insurance plan that provides coverage up to $1,000,000 for medical treatment worldwide. It covers the costs of diagnosis, hospitalisation, and post-treatment care for planned medical treatments.

For short-term expats, digital nomads, frequent flyers and business travellers, quality healthcare abroad comes with the added stress of language barriers and higher costs. 

If you are on the same boat, getting international health insurance is a smart move, and that’s where we come in. We cover a wide range of illnesses, including over 10 critical illnesses, with access to top-quality healthcare services worldwide. 
Our plan can also be personalised to cover travel and accommodation expenses, so you and your family are fully covered during your stay abroad. Our Health Global plan, along with the multi-trip rider, ensures you receive coverage across borders.

What Is International Health Insurance?

knowledge

International health insurance is a long-term medical insurance policy designed for individuals living or working abroad for extended periods. It provides access to planned and emergency treatments globally, including hospital stays, surgeries, and specialist consultations.

A global health insurance coverage is ideal for expats, students, and frequent travellers. Some policies may also offer optional coverage within India. It helps get continued care across borders without disruptions or high out-of-pocket expenses.

Understanding International Health Insurance

How is International Medical Insurance Different from Travel Insurance?

icon

Travel Insurance

Travel Insurance is designed for short trips, typically lasting a few days to a few weeks. It mainly covers emergency medical expenses, trip cancellations, lost baggage, and flight delays. It is ideal for tourists or business travellers visiting another country temporarily. However, it does not include routine health checkups or planned treatments abroad.  
icon

International Medical Insurance

International Medical Insurance, on the other hand, is a comprehensive health plan for people living, studying, or working abroad for extended periods. It covers planned medical care, including maternity, chronic condition management, mental health, and wellness checkups. It also offers more flexible geographic coverage and longer validity.

How is International Medical Insurance Different from Travel Insurance?

Global medical insurance and travel insurance serve different purposes, mainly in terms of coverage duration and depth.

  • Travel insurance is designed for short trips, typically lasting a few days to a few weeks. It mainly covers emergency medical expenses, trip cancellations, lost baggage, and flight delays. It is ideal for tourists or business travellers visiting another country temporarily. However, it does not include routine health checkups or planned treatments abroad.

  • International health insurance, on the other hand, is a comprehensive health plan for people living, studying, or working abroad for extended periods. It covers planned medical care, including maternity, chronic condition management, mental health, and wellness checkups. It also offers more flexible geographic coverage and longer validity.

Why Do You Need International Health Insurance? 

Covers High Medical Costs Abroad 

Healthcare expenses overseas can be extremely high, even for basic treatments. For instance, a 2024 report by WTW shows 73% higher medical cost projections for 2025 in the Asia Pacific region, with cancer and respiratory conditions growing at a much faster rate. 

Medical costs abroad can be double or even triple of those in India, making it mandatory to secure a policy when travelling overseas. Our overseas health insurance helps manage these costs and prevents financial strain when you need medical insurance coverage for planned treatment abroad. 

Cover Specialised and Planned Treatments Overseas

Many people travel for advanced or planned treatments unavailable locally. International health insurance ensures medical insurance abroad covers such planned care without exhausting personal savings. We cover pre & post hospitalisation costs incurred up to 15 days from the day of arrival at the hospital for your treatment, as well as 30 days from the date of discharge. 

Our plan also goes the extra step and offers further assistance with our concierge services – from losing your passport to needing hospital admission in a foreign country, we have you covered. 

Get Comprehensive Protection (Hospitalisation, Pre/Post, and Evacuation)

Overseas health insurance offers comprehensive protection beyond hospitalisation, including pre and post-treatment expenses, emergency evacuation, and related medical support.  

If you buy from us, you also get coverage for visa and accommodation costs. Plus, we also cover ICU setup and treatment up to ₹25 lakh. E.g., if a cancer patient gets medical care at home, treatment is covered up to ₹25 lakh. 

Access World-Class Hospitals and Doctors Globally 

With global health coverage, you can seek treatment at reputed hospitals worldwide. Our overseas health insurance ensures access to quality doctors and advanced medical infrastructure abroad. So, if you are planning to get complex surgery in the U.S – No problem! You can get it done at a top hospital without worrying about the bill since we covered up to $1 million. Claims are also fully settled cashlessly, so you pay nothing out of pocket.  

Moreover, we offer unlimited coverage in India. For example, if you claim $500K abroad and then need a ₹3 crore surgery in India, both will be covered, with your treatment in India getting full cost coverage. 

Continuity of Care Across Countries 

International health insurance supports continuity of treatment even when you move countries. Overseas health insurance provides uninterrupted medical cover abroad during your travel between countries. This is possible through our multi-trip rider, which offers coverage for medical emergencies overseas and trip insurance for events such as cancelled trips and lost luggage. It is perfect for frequent flyers and those who travel often.  

Types of International Health Insurance Plans from IndusInd

Global Cover (Treatment Abroad Only)

The global cover is designed for individuals who require medical treatment exclusively outside India. It covers overseas hospitalisation, emergency care, and specified major illnesses abroad.  

Global medical insurance is essential for managing high international healthcare costs without relying on Indian coverage. It is suitable for expatriates, students, and professionals staying overseas long-term.  

Global + India Cover (Treatment in India and Abroad)

This option provides flexibility by covering planned and emergency hospitalisation in India and planned treatment overseas, as per policy terms. It is ideal for frequent travellers or expatriates who return to India periodically. Health insurance global coverage under this plan ensures continuity of care and protection across countries. 

Individual vs Family Floater Options

How to Choose a Global Health Insurance Plan?

Choose a High Sum Insured

Medical treatments overseas are expensive, and you do not want to pay for treatment out of pocket halfway through your stay. That's why you also need to account for accommodations, travel costs, and daily living expenses on top of treatment costs. So, choose a high sum insured plan.

Check the Countries Covered

Some plans exclude treatments taken in the USA and Canada, so it’s important to double-check if the plan you’ve chosen covers your planned treatment in your destination country. Ideally, you want your plan to actually have worldwide coverage and cover all countries without any exceptions.

Check the Plan Options Offered

Comprehensive global health insurance, like ours, offers several plan options with varying levels of coverage and add-ons to enhance coverage. So choose a global plan option that best suits your needs. We recommend going for a higher coverage plan to ensure medical inflation is considered.

Check for Restore Benefits

Choose a plan that offers restoration benefits to replenish your sum insured amount after a claim. This can be helpful in case your initial claim fully exhausts your coverage amount. Look for plans that offer this benefit for claims filed for the same or unrelated illnesses, so you get more flexible coverage. 

Prefer Plans with Renewal Benefit

Check if the international health insurance plan offers no claim bonuses or cumulative bonuses, free annual health check-ups and any other increments on your sum insured upon renewal. This ensures your plan still offers sufficient coverage in the future even if healthcare costs go up. 

Check for Cashless Claims

Check the claims process in general, and check if the insurance company has tie-ups with overseas hospitals for quick and cashless settlements. The claims process should also be available online and involve minimal paperwork. Ideally, you want a plan like ours that offers cashless claims at any hospital.

Factors That Affect Your Premium

criterio

Age of the Insured

Your age plays a big role in deciding the premium. As you get older, the likelihood of needing medical care increases, which naturally raises premiums. 

criterio

Number of Members Covered

If your plan includes more people, such as in a family floater or multiple individual covers, the premium will increase. More members mean a wider coverage base and higher potential claims. 

criterio

Destination Countries

Healthcare costs aren’t the same everywhere. If your policy covers treatment in countries with expensive medical systems, your premium will reflect that. Travelling to lower-cost destinations generally keeps the premium more affordable.

criterio

Sum Insured Selected

Choosing a higher sum insured offers stronger financial protection, but it also means the insurer carries more risk. As a result, you’ll pay a higher premium for the added safety net.

criterio

Pre-Existing Conditions

If your policy includes coverage for pre-existing medical conditions, your premium may increase. Insurers assess medical history and apply waiting periods or specific terms before coverage begins. 

criterio

Optional Riders and Add-ons

Extra benefits, such as maternity coverage, emergency evacuation, or outpatient care, enhance your coverage but also increase the total premium.

criterio

Coverage Region (Including or Excluding the USA)

Plans that include the USA tend to cost more since healthcare expenses there are among the highest in the world. Excluding the region can significantly lower your premium.

criterio

Policy Term

Longer policy durations often cost more upfront but may offer better value compared to multiple short-term policies.

How to Save on Your International Health Plan

Buy Online

Purchasing your international health plan online often comes with lower premiums and exclusive digital-only discounts. 

Choose a Long-Term Policy

Opt for a longer policy term, which usually reduces the overall annual cost compared to repeatedly renewing short-term plans. 

Opt for a Voluntary Co-Pay

Agree to pay a small portion of medical expenses, which lowers premium costs while keeping essential coverage intact. 

Select the Right Sum Insured

Choose a sum insured based on destination healthcare costs to avoid overpaying and ensure adequate financial protection. 

Disclose Medical History Accurately

Share complete and accurate medical details to avoid premium loading later and ensure smoother claims processing. 

Compare Coverage Needs Carefully

Review benefits carefully to avoid paying for features you may not need during your stay abroad.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I buy an international health insurance policy in a foreign country?

Generally no. Most Indian health insurance plans will only offer coverage for medical treatments in India. If you are planning to seek treatment overseas, you will need to buy an international health insurance policy or check if your existing health policy offers a global coverage add-on. At IndusInd General Insurance (formerly Reliance General Insurance), we offer an international health policy with coverage up to $1 million. This plan will also help cover your travel and accommodation costs while overseas, so your whole stay is covered.

How much does international health insurance cost?

Our international health policy price starts at ₹243 per month*, but your actual plan price may vary depending on the coverage you choose. This is because the premium for a world-wide health insurance is determined by factors such as your age, health condition, plan choice, sum insured, policy period, and pre-existing conditions. Global health insurance premiums are also slightly higher than domestic health plans due to their worldwide coverage. However, the advantages make them worth it, and they can be customised to offer affordable coverage.

Does an international health insurance policy cover medical expenses incurred in India?

Yes, in most cases it will unless your plan states otherwise. For example, the IndusInd Health Global (formerly known as Reliance Health Global) Policy offers a Global plan option and a Global + India plan option. The Global + India plan option will cover medical treatment costs incurred in India and overseas, while the Global plan option will only cover your planned medical treatments overseas.

Does a global health insurance policy cover planned medical treatments in the US and Canada?

Yes, our IndusInd Health Global (formerly known as Reliance Health Global) policy covers planned medical treatments in various countries worldwide, including the US and Canada.

Are pre-existing illnesses covered in international health insurance plans?

Yes, pre-existing illnesses are covered in our international health insurance plan, but only after you complete the 36-month waiting period. In case you need this coverage soon, we offer an add-on that reduces the waiting period to 12 or 24 months. If you have ported your health insurance policy. In that case, the waiting period you have completed in the previous policy will be carried over, allowing you to retain the benefit without restarting the waiting period in the new policy.
