Cigna Global — overview

Cigna Global is the international health insurance arm of Cigna, one of the world's largest health service companies. It offers individual and family international health insurance plans designed specifically for expatriates and globally mobile individuals. Plans are available through cigna.com/individuals-families/health-insurance/international/ — not through Cigna's US domestic or corporate health division.

Key strengths: One of the largest international hospital networks globally (over 1 million facilities). Strong direct billing capability at major private hospitals. Modular plan structure allowing flexibility. Genuine worldwide coverage including USA (on appropriate plans). Solid claims handling reputation among expats.

Plan structure

Cigna Global plans are modular. A core inpatient plan can be supplemented with outpatient cover, dental, vision, mental health and more. This allows tailoring the plan to your needs and budget. The core plan covers hospitalisation, surgery, cancer treatment and medical evacuation. Outpatient cover (GP visits, specialist consultations) is an add-on — and a meaningful one given how frequently expats use outpatient services.

Coverage area options: Worldwide (including USA), Worldwide excluding USA, and regional options. If you do not need US coverage, excluding it reduces premiums significantly.

Pricing — why we don't quote figures

No published premiums

Cigna Global does not publish fixed premium tables for individual plans. Pricing is determined by personalised quote based on your age, health history, destination country, plan configuration and chosen deductible. Any website that quotes you a specific Cigna premium without you having provided these details is giving you a number that doesn't apply to your situation. Get your own quote directly from Cigna.

Who Cigna Global suits — and who it doesn't

✓ Good fit

Expats wanting comprehensive worldwide cover including the US. Those who move between countries frequently. Senior expats or those with more complex health needs. People who want strong direct billing and claims handling.

✗ May not suit

Those on a tight budget who just need basic inpatient cover. Digital nomads who want the cheapest option. Those based exclusively in Southeast Asia where Pacific Cross has more specialised local coverage.
