Insurance premiums rise drastically as you age, and some companies require waiting periods, exclusions, or moratoriums before they\u2019ll even cover certain conditions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Older individuals are often managing at least one health condition. Because seniors are more likely to have conditions that need consistent assessment or treatment, it is much riskier for insurance companies to cover them. In turn, premiums often rise dramatically as individuals age.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some key aspects to consider when choosing insurance that meets the unique needs of senior expats.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Guaranteed Lifetime Renewal: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insurance companies used to commonly cancel coverage for older adults to avoid the financial risk, but more providers now offer guaranteed renewability. This means that once you have begun a plan, providers cannot cancel the plan simply because of your health.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pre-existing Conditions Coverage:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Pre-existing conditions are those that you have before beginning an insurance plan. Many providers exclude coverage or require a waiting period or moratorium (being symptom- and treatment-free for a set period before receiving coverage).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Dental and Vision Coverage: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most international insurance plans come with add-on options for dental and vision coverage. Some premium plans even have these benefits as part of the core plan. Both dental and vision needs increase with age, so opting for this coverage is wise for older expats.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Medical Evacuation and Repatriation:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Vietnam health standards vary widely depending on region. Medication evacuation covers the cost to transport you to an adequate facility for treatment or even back home, when necessary. This benefit is essential for Vietnam.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best thing senior individuals can do is get insured as soon as possible, preferably before they retire. Taking out international health insurance sooner helps you avoid pre-existing conditions exclusions, and the cost of coverage is significantly lower.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\"><div class='code-block code-block-24' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both;'>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/compare-quotes\/step-one-name\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4633\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blog-Banner_Asia_5.jpg\" alt=\"blog banner asia 5\" width=\"1138\" height=\"493\" \/><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Top International Health Insurance for Expats Seniors in Vietnam<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Five of the best international health insurers for senior expats in Vietnam are <\/span><b>Allianz<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>AXA<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>Bupa<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>Cigna<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><b>NOW Health<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Most doctors and staff in public Vietnam hospitals also only speak Vietnamese, but international insurance offers more English-friendly options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vietnam\u2019s public hospitals are often underfunded and lack the necessary equipment to run smoothly. Wait times are also often very long, and quality of care in rural areas is sparse. These issues make most expats opt for private healthcare, which is available through international health insurance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">International coverage plans also include medical evacuation. This is essential in Vietnam since the quality of care varies across the country and medical transportation to adequate facilities can be extremely expensive without insurance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Pacific Prime\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/cost-of-health-insurance-2024\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cost of International Health Insurance Report<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, individuals in Vietnam paid an average of <\/span><b>USD $4,547<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in 2024 for international health insurance, while families paid an average of <\/span><b>USD $12,505.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This comes from Pacific Prime\u2019s proprietary data collected from real customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please note that all insurance prices are highly individual, with costs depending heavily on factors such as health history, plan selection, deductibles, copays, and add-on benefits.
