The answer is easy. If you are a US citizen living abroad, traditional sources of US private health insurance will not meet your needs. Geographical exclusions and provider limitations common to these policies will restrict or even eliminate the coverage available to you while you are outside the US. At the same time, you may not be eligible for participation in the government sponsored plans in the country where you reside. Or you may wish to have access to health care in other countries, including the US, in the event you become seriously ill. If you are a non-US citizen, you may need an international medical insurance policy to supplement the coverage available to you through a plan sponsored by your government or to provide coverage while you are outside your home country. If your lifestyle knows no geographic limits, you need health insurance that knows no boundaries. International Citizen Economy has been designed to meet the needs of budget conscious International Citizens who want reliable, affordable coverage.
