Suspending Health Insurance at Home – Longer Term Assignments

It may be possible to suspend health insurance at home if you are on a longer term assignment. If you are away for more than a pre-determined time frame (usually a minimum of 6 weeks), they may let you suspend your insurance at home. This will save you considerable cost back at home. This is done because you will not be using your local health insurance if you are abroad. Call your health insurer to find out and this way you can save on your premium while you are away
