Expatriate Health Insurance

Question:

I live in Taiwan and I am covered by Taiwan's National Health Insurance. However, it doesn't provide adequate coverage for certain major healthcare expenses (I'm not sure precisely which, but I've been told that includes serious cancers, serious traumas, costly implants or medical devices, etc. Presumably your experts have that on file or one who knows the Chinese language can easily find out. I'm happy to buy a policy from a Taiwanese insurer, but with my poor Chinese language skills I have had no luck with that so far. Can you recommend a suitable policy which doesn't duplicate any of the cover I already have under the National Health Insurance?

Answer:

While we do have agents who speak Chinese, we are unable to call on behalf of a client to find out what specific insurance that client needs. 

These plans are primarily going to meant for people who traveling outside their home country for at least 6 months. With that being said, the policies we offer in the Expatriate section will likely be very similar, or offer less coverage, than the insurance that is provided by the Taiwan government.
