What happens when a 13-year-old in Malawi needs emergency medical evacuation, but their insurance has just expired? Andrew Jernigan shares the dramatic story and reveals how proper international insurance can be the difference between life and death.
In this episode of Nomadic Diaries, Doreen sits down with Andrew Jernigan, CEO of Insured Nomads, to unravel the complexities of international insurance for global citizens.
Andrew shares compelling narratives that shaped his mission, including the tragic story of a family in Malawi who lost their father to malaria due to lack of insurance, and a young digital nomad whose routine headache check-up in Thailand led to the discovery of a life-threatening brain tumor. These experiences highlight the critical importance of comprehensive international coverage and the often-overlooked benefits, such as having family members flown to your bedside during medical emergencies.
This discussion delves into the evolution of insurance products tailored for various types of international travelers and residents. From catastrophic coverage with high deductibles to regional plans that exclude expensive countries, Andrew explains how Insured Nomads has created flexible solutions that include unexpected perks like airport lounge access, cybersecurity protection, and mental health support.
He emphasizes the importance of being prepared with proper documentation and maintaining patience during claims processes. This is the nuts and bolts of life lived abroad. Pay attention to insurance, visas and bureaucracy - all of it is important!
