Short Term Healthcare Insurance
Whilst Expatriate Healthcare will always remain dedicated to providing international medical insurance, we understand that short term healthcare policies would suit many expats, travellers and volunteers. Those on overseas secondments, students studying abroad, and travellers who do not want to return home for treatment can all benefit from purchasing their overseas iPMI in smaller chunks.
Individuals travelling abroad for periods of 3 to 11 months can opt for our Short Term Healthcare Insurance. It provides the comprehensive protection our customers are used to, just for a shorter amount of time to better suit your needs.

What is Short Term Healthcare?
We know that not every trip abroad is the same, so our Short Term Healthcare policy can provide comprehensive cover from a minimum of 3 to 11 months. Instant healthcare cover, 24-hour support, and unrestricted access to hospitals will give you peace of mind for however long you are overseas.
Key Short Term Healthcare Insurance Features
Medical Expenses
Your general health and well-being also extends to your dental health. Good dental health requires regular and routine check-ups and resulting restorative treatment can be costly.
Expatriate Healthcare understand that prevention is always the better solution so we provide you with cover for routine check-ups and treatment plus, in the event of further treatment being required, both basic and major restorative treatment.
Preventative Care
Your health and well-being and that of those you love and value is of paramount importance. Expatriate Healthcare is committed to keeping you all healthy by providing regular health checks and tests. These include vaccinations, annual medical check-ups and cervical smears.
We even provide for prostate cancer screening and mammograms for the over 45’s.
Dental Care
Your general health and well-being also extends to your dental health. Good dental health requires regular and routine check-ups and resulting restorative treatment can be costly.
Expatriate Healthcare understand that prevention is always the better solution so we provide you with cover for routine check-ups and treatment plus, in the event of further treatment being required, both basic and major restorative treatment.
Optical Care
Changes to your eyesight are inevitable. That’s why Expatriate Healthcare provide a benefit covering the cost of an annual eye examination for each person insured under the policy.
Where there is a change to your prescription we will also cover you for the cost of prescription lenses (including standard contact lenses).
Maternity Care
We know that when you are expecting a baby, you need to feel confident that appropriate care is available.
Once you have been covered by the policy continuously for 12 months, if you become pregnant, we provide for your antenatal appointments in the run up to the big day and for the delivery itself. And to get you back on your feet in those early days, we also allow for home nursing for 5 days after home delivery.
Complementary Medicine / Therapies
Should you be prescribed complementary treatment, we cover chiropractic help, osteopathy, homeopathy and acupuncture.
24hr Emergency Assistance
In the event of an emergency, one simple call to Expatriate Healthcare’s assistance service provider and arrangements will be made for you to be transported to the nearest location for appropriate treatment.
Through our multilingual 24-hour support partner, we will liaise with you, your family and the local healthcare services, keeping you continually updated.
24 hour Emergency Medical Assistance is standard on all of our international healthcare plans.
AIDS/HIV and Chronic Conditions
We understand that not all medical conditions can be cured.
Chronic conditions usually require you to have regular check-ups, nursing care and routine or daily medication. Thankfully, with the right medical support, many people can live a relatively normal life whilst suffering with a chronic condition. However, the financial implications can be devastating.
We support you by providing benefits in respect of both HIV and chronic conditions.
