How to choose a plan
- 1
Select your **Age**. Insurance premiums for nomads scale significantly after age 40.
- 2
Choose your **Coverage Scope**. Plans that include the USA are often 2x more expensive.
- 3
Compare the 'Direct Billing' capability. Some plans require you to pay upfront and claim back; others pay the hospital directly.
- 4
Check for 'Adventure Sports' or 'Gadget Coverage' if you carry specialized equipment or participate in high-risk activities.
Why Travel Insurance is NOT enough
Most standard travel insurance policies require you to have a 'Home Country' that you return to. If you are a full-time digital nomad (nomadic for 12+ months), many standard policies become void.
Global Health Insurance (IPMI) is designed for people who live outside their home country. It covers routine checkups, emergency surgery, and often ongoing treatments that travel insurance ignores.
Our guide focuses on providers that understand the nomad lifestyle—allowing you to start a policy while already abroad and providing coverage in almost every country on earth.
