Can I get advice on health insurance or medical coverage abroad?

Yes, health and medical insurance questions abroad are among the topics covered by helping expats on SOS-Expat. These providers live or have lived in the relevant country and can give you concrete guidance.

• Choosing expat health insurance: what coverage is essential depending on the country
• Understanding the local healthcare system: local social security, reimbursements, approved doctors
• Finding a doctor or hospital in your language: recommended contacts in many cities
• Accident or emergency hospitalization: how to be treated, what to tell the hospital, language barrier management
• Medical repatriation: steps to take if your health requires returning to your home country

Note: for purely medical questions (diagnosis, treatment), SOS-Expat is not a medical service and does not replace a doctor.
