Planning travel or a move abroad? Know before you go.

Healthcare works differently in every country. That’s why we created these Country Guides to help you understand how to access care before you travel. Whether you're going on vacation, studying abroad, volunteering or moving to a new country, it’s important to know how the healthcare system works. 

Many people don’t know that most U.S. health plans don’t work overseas. Healthcare systems vary by country. Each country has its own standards for quality. There are often local norms around how you access and pay for care as well as treatment protocols that may be very different from what you would encounter in the U.S. 

Our Country Guides give simple, useful info about healthcare around the world. You’ll learn how to get care, what to expect, and why international health insurance can help access and pay for care, wherever you are in the world. 

Be ready. Travel smart. 

Pick your destination from the list to find out what you need to know before you go.
