Special Issue: Health
This month's focus is on health insurance. Guest columnist Jeff Nasser, vice president of marketing for International Medical Group Inc, writes that nearly four million U.S. citizens currently live abroad, and more than 30 million non-U.S. citizens arrive in the U.S. each year. How many of them do you insure?
Today, the demand for international insurance products is greater than ever due to the increasing mobility of business people as well as leisure travelers. This type of coverage is aimed at both U.S. citizens living abroad or traveling for business or pleasure, and non-U.S. citizens worldwide.
As an agent, it is your job to find a company and plan for these individuals and groups that will go well beyond what would be expected from a domestic carrier. Domestic insurance coverage is not able to keep up with these travelers because it usually does not cover them when they leave their home country. Even if their current plan offers international coverage, usually it is for a very limited time and offers very minimal benefits.
