Group medical repatriation insurance is a form of insurance that global employers should consider having in place for their employees on international assignments. This type of insurance covers the cost of transferring sick or injured employees from overseas back to their home country. This is typically coordinated by a medical transport company or an organisation that specialises in medical evacuations.
As more organisations grow their global presence, expats are increasingly relied on to run international operations. Having a global workforce may involve a higher level of risk. To mitigate these risks having the right coverage in place is vital for both the organisation and their employees on international assignments.
