Adoption And International Medical Insurance

Adoption and international medical insurance can go happily hand in hand. Yes, we have just the long term expatriate medical insurance plan for you if you are requiring the adoption benefit to your international insurance policy.

Good Neighbor Insurance provides a variety of international insurance plans to fit the wide array of benefits each of our guests is requesting. You may view our long term medical insurance for expatriates here at https://www.gninsurance.com/long-term-international-health-insurance/#All_Plans.

Good Neighbor Insurance has two expatriate medical insurance plans that will cover adoption. Before we go into details there is one important thing to remember about the adoption benefit.  Here is the key thing to remember – your policy must be active before any part of the adoption benefit may be used.  Thus, if the adoption process has already started without your international medical insurance policy being active this adoption benefit will not be included.

Here are the two expatriate medical insurance plans we would recommend not only for the benefit of the adoption cover but also for all your international insurance coverage needs. These two expat medical insurance plans are one of the top end overseas medical insurance plans you and I can get while residing overseas.

As of March 2016 – here is the wording on adopted children for both of these expat medical insurance plans: An Insured Participant’s adopted child is automatically covered for Illness or Injury for 31 days from either the date of placement of the child in the home, or the date of the final decree of adoption, whichever is earlier. To continue coverage beyond 31 days, an Insured Participant must enroll the adopted child within 31 days from either the date of placement or the final decree of adoption.
