Subscription travel-medical insurance built for long trips and remote work. Covers emergency treatment and evacuation, runs month to month rather than per trip, and can be started after you have already left home. Public hospitals will treat you first and bill afterwards, but private clinics and the flight home are where the costs run away. Most useful if you are moving between countries for months rather than taking a single trip.
