|
|
I would just like some insights for getting some health insurance for my wife. My school pays for mine and since she is on a dependant visa she isn`t elegible for NHI while I`m not on it.
So I would like to compare options
At present we have been recommended Viva Vida at 46,000 per annum but I have no idea of the terms and conditions.
Thanks for all responses. |

I've been using interglobal for a couple of years in which time I've made a few claims which have always be paid in full. The fee schedule is on their website which you could access via gaijinpot.com or eltnews.com probably. They reimburse you 100 percent of the costs which you pay up front. other than that I used travel insurance from home country, but they might have rules about how long you can be away and stay eligible. |

any other providers?
175000/month looks a bit steep. |
