When you’re in another country, it's really important to have good health insurance. This kind of insurance helps pay your medical bills if you get sick or hurt. That way, you don’t have to worry about spending a lot of money if you need to see a doctor or go to the hospital.
In 2025, these are some of the best and most trusted companies that can help you. Let’s see who they are, where they come from, what they offer, and how much they might cost.
Cigna Global
Cigna has been helping people for over 225 years—that’s a very long time! They help people in more than 200 countries. Their main office is in Wilmington, Delaware, USA, but they also work from places like Scotland and Spain.
Cigna lets you build your own plan, like choosing pizza toppings. You can pick what you want—like doctor visits, dental, or eye care—and skip what you don’t need. They work with over 1.65 million doctors and hospitals.
Prices change depending on what you choose. For example, one visit to the doctor in the UK might cost about £205 with some of their plans.
AXA Global Healthcare
AXA is a big company from France, and their main office is in Paris. They’ve been helping people with health insurance in the UK since 1938.
They work in over 190 countries, and you can change your plan to fit your age, where you’re going, and what you want (like dental care). On average, their plans might cost about $314 each month, but prices can be higher or lower depending on you. You can also pay a little more when you visit the doctor (this is called an "excess") to make your monthly price lower.
Allianz Care
Allianz is a well-known company from Germany, and their main office is in Munich. They started in 1890 and help people in over 70 countries.
They have a big network—over 2 million doctors and hospitals! You can choose different types of coverage, and some plans even let you talk to a doctor online. Prices depend on your age, where you’re going, and how many people are on your plan.
Bupa Global
Bupa started in the UK, and their main office is in London. They have many types of plans, from simple to very fancy. Some names are “Essential,” “Classic,” or “Gold Superior.”
Their top plans can even cover health resorts—places where you rest and get better after being sick. But these plans can be expensive. One person might pay around £10,200 a year. They also have special help teams in places like Copenhagen.
GeoBlue
If you’re from the United States or moving there, GeoBlue is a good choice. Their GeoBlue Xplorer plan is very popular. It gives strong health coverage all over the world and is known for great service.
IMG (International Medical Group)
IMG is good for students, younger travelers, or people who want cheaper plans. They started in 1990 and are based in Indianapolis, USA.
They were one of the first companies to sell plans online. You can choose where you want coverage and what you want covered. For example, their Bronze Plan is cheaper and helps with big emergency costs.
Now Health International
Now Health makes it simple for people living abroad to get good health insurance. They have plans like “WorldCare” (covers a lot) and “SimpleCare” (covers less, costs less).
A company called A.M. Best gave them an A+ rating, which means they are strong and reliable.

They offer plans that can start from just €23 a month, depending on where you live. You can get help 24/7, and they work with a large number of doctors and hospitals.

Their plans include:
- Emergency Plan (up to €250,000 per year)
