Got international travel and health insurance with WorldNomads early this afternoon, after spending the morning researching and looking. As far as I understand, all long-term expats should get international travel and health insurance.
I went with WorldNomads instead of International SOS, Medex, or anything from insuremytrip.com because:
1) WorldNomads is a well-regarded brand (at the least, folks like Lonely Planet and Nomadic Matt are willing to advertise for them),
2) International SOS was more expensive and seems to be geared more towards serving companies and their expats, and
3) WorldNomads allowed me to buy even though I'm already abroad. International SOS says you must buy in advance, and while I might've been able to trick their website, I'm sure as an insurance company, they'd find a way to make that work against me in the event of a claim.
Cost was $1050 for 12 months.
Interesting. I'm curious, and I'm not sure if you know the answer, but would WorldNomads's health insurance be a valid purchase option under Obamacare?
Even if I become an expat, I would think I still have to buy health insurance under the ACA.
