International Benefits
More and more, employers are deploying their employees internationally. Clark & Lavey can help you manage international benefit issues. Medical, life and disability plans covering employees residing within the United States may not provide appropriate levels of coverage for expatriated employees. Often employees seeking medical care outside the US are forced to pay expensive medical bills at the time of treatment and submit forms later for reimbursement. Employees traveling to foreign countries may not know where to seek medical attention, or they may encounter language barriers.
International benefit coverage is available for employees traveling on short business trips or employees more permanently assigned to foreign countries. Expatriate group medical, life and disability plans as well as business travel accident policies not only provide coverage but assist members in seeking medical care, worldwide, 24 hours a day, and can handle emergency evacuation and repatriation.
