Healthcare

Covered from wheels-down. No gap, no gamble.

The danger zone is the gap: home coverage ends at the border, local coverage starts after enrolment, and the weeks in between are where bad luck gets expensive. Line up the bridge policy and the enrolment steps before you fly and there is never a day you are exposed.

How Nomad helps with healthcare

The coverage gap, closed before you fly.

The visa's insurance requirement is handled first.

Many long-stay visas require proof of health coverage at filing time, with specific minimums. The right policy goes in your plan before the application week, which means your filing never bounces over a missing certificate.

A bridge policy covers the in-between weeks.

Between leaving home coverage and local enrolment there is a gap nobody warns you about. Your plan closes it with cover that starts the day you land, which means a sprained ankle in week two is a bill, not a catastrophe.

Prescriptions and records move with you.

Refills, generic-name lists, and translated records get sorted before departure, so continuity of care survives the move, which means nobody in the family spends month one hunting for a doctor in a language they do not speak yet.

Does my US health insurance work abroad?

Almost never beyond emergencies, and often not even then. Plan on a dedicated policy for the move: one that satisfies your visa's requirements, covers you from landing day, and works in the system you are actually moving into.

Do visas really require health insurance?

Many long-stay routes do, and they are specific about coverage minimums and dates. It is one of the most common reasons applications bounce. The plan puts the right policy in place before your filing week so it is never the thing that stalls you.

Public or private healthcare once I am there?

It depends on the country and your residency status. Many movers start private for speed and English-speaking care, then add public access once residency unlocks it. The plan maps what your destination and visa make available, and when.
